Version 1"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - October 5, 1973 [Intro] x4 Am [Verse] Am F Raised to be a lady by the golden rule Dm Am Alice was the spawn of a public school F With a double barrel name, in the back of her brain Dm G Am And a simple case of mummy-dont-love-me blues [Verse] Am F Reality it seems, was just a dream Dm Am She couldn't get it on, with the boys on the scene F But what do you expect from a chick who’s just sixteen Dm G Am And hey hey hey (hey hey hey) you know what I mean [Chorus] F#m7b5 F All the young girls love Alice C D Tender young Alice they say Am F Come over and see me, come over and please me G# A# Am Alice it's my turn today F#m7b5 F All the young girls love Alice C D Tender young Alice they say Am F If I give you my number, will you promise to call me? G# A# Am Wait 'til my husband’s away [Verse] Am F Poor little darling, with a chip out of her heart Dm Am It's like acting in a movie, when you've got the wrong part F Getting your kicks, in another girl's bed Dm G Am And it was only last Tuesday, oh, they found you in the subway dead [Verse] Am F And who could you call your friends down in Soho? Dm Am One or two, middle aged dikes in a go-go? F And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo? Dm G Am And hey hey hey (hey hey hey) oh, don't you know [Chorus] F#m7b5 F All the young girls love Alice C D Tender young Alice they say Am F Come over and see me, come over and please me G# A# Am Alice it's my turn today F#m7b5 F All the young girls love Alice C D Tender young Alice they say Am F If I give you my number, will you promise to call me? G# A# Am Wait 'til my husband’s away [Outro] Am
