When are you going to land? 
   Eb                        C

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

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
