This is the chords for the Keane version of this song.
Original song composed by Elton John
[Verse 1]
Em A
When are you going to come down?
D G
When are you going to land?
C A
I should have stayed on the farm,
A D
I should have listened to my old man.
Em A
You know you can't hold me forever,
D G
I didn't sign up with you.
C A
I'm not a present for your friends to open,
D
This boy's too young to be singing
[Bridge]
Gm C
The blu-u-ues.
F Bb
Aah aah aah aah
Gm A
aah aah aah
[Chorus]
D F#
So goodbye yellow brick road,
G D
Where the dogs of society howl.
B Em
You can't plant me in your penthouse,
A D
I'm going back to my plough.
Bm F#
Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
G Bb
Hunting the horny back toad.
C D A Bm
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
G Gm C
Beyond the yellow brick road
F Bb
Aah aah aah aah
Gm A
aah aah aah
D
aah
[Verse 2]
Em A
What do you think you'll do then?
D G
I bet that'll shoot down your plane.
C A
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
D
To set you on your feet again
Em7 A
Maybe you'll get a replacement,
D G
There's plenty like me to be found.
C A
Mongrels, who ain't got a penny,
G A Gm C
Sniffing for tid-bits like you on the ground
F Bb
Aah aah aah aah
Gm A
aah aah aah
D
aah
