When are you gonna come down? 
F             Am7      Bb
When are you going to land? 
   Eb                        C
I should have stayed on the farm 
               F
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

Back to the howling old owl in the woods 
Bb                      Db
Hunting the horny back toad

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies 
Bb          C            Bbm    Eb    Ab    Db     Bbm   C    F
Beyond the yellow brick ro - - -ad    Ahhhhhhh     Ahhhhhhh 

Verse 2 (Same chords as verse 1) -
What do you think you'll do then? 
I bet they'll shoot down your plane 
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics 
To set you on your feet again 
Maybe you'll get a replacement 
There's plenty like me to be found 
Mongrels, who ain't got a penny 
Sniffing for tid-bits like you on the ground
