[Verse 1]
 
Bm                      E        A                     D
When are you gonna come down     When are you going to learn
G                          E                 A
should have strayed on the farm Should have listened to my old man 
    Bm                        E      A                   D
You know you can’t hold me forever I didn’t sign up with you 
    G                      E
I’m not a present for your friends to open 
     A
this boy’s too young to be singing      the 
F      G       C      Am          F     G      A

A                    C#               D               A
Goodbye yellow brick road.  Where the dogs of society howl 
    F#                         Bm              E                A
You can’t plant  me  in  your  pent house  I’m going back to my plough 
F#m                 C#               D                      F
Back to the howling owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad 
        A                  F#m           D        E
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick 
F      G     C       Am      F         E         A
road          Ah             Ah                  Ah

Bm                       E         A                      D
What do you think you’ll do then I bet ya shoot down your plane 
      G                    E
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics 
   A
to set you on your feet again 
Bm                   E
Maybe you’ll get a replacement 
        A                     D
there’s plenty like me  to be found    
 
G            E
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
A
sniffing for tid - bits like you________  On the 
 
F       G       C      Am        F       E

Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick 
F     G      C      Am     F        E          A
road          Ah           Ah                  Ah

This version is the closest that I have found to the original sheet music published in the 70s. Well done & thanks!
