xGOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD Artist: Elton John Album: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Words and Music: Elton John and Bernie Taupin Transcribed by: Raine M. Ekman ([email protected]) All chords last for 1 bar except for the intro and the part of the chorus that goes "Oh I've..." (Db Eb F C Dm F Bb C) Two slash chords included. Of course you can leave out the note after the slash and just use the regular chord shapes. C/E x-x-2-0-1-0 Dm/C x-3-x-2-3-1 Easier to play when transposed down 3 steps. To get back to the original key put on a capo 3rd fret.
