1. When are you gonna come down, when are you going to land,
Em A D
I should have stayed on the farm, should have listened to my old man.
Em A D G
You know you can't hold me forever, I didn't sign up with you,
C A
I'm not a present for your friends to open,
D Bb C F Bb Bb A7
this boy's too young to be singing the blu..es, a.....h, a.....h.
D F# G D
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl,
B7 Em A D
you can't plant me in your penthouse, I'm going back to my plough.
Bm F# G Bb
Back to the howling old owl, hunting the horny black toad.
C D Bb Bb D
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
G Bb C F Bb Bb A7 D
beyond the yellow brick ro...ad, a.....h, a.....h.
Em A D G
2. What do you think you'll do then? I bet that`ll shoot down your plane,
Em A D
it'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again.
Em A D G
Maybe you'll get a replacement, there's plenty like me to be found,
C A
mongrels who ain't got a penny,
D Bb-C F Bb Bb A7
sniffing for titbits like you on the ground, a.....h, a.....h.
