Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Chords
Title: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Artist: Elton John
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st Fret
Transposed from an excellent cover of this song by Gorgiarose16 on youtube:

Quite a few barre chords, but in general easier to play than the other versions on
here which use them all the way through.
Hope you like it anyway. I've done my best to try and transpose all the chords
accurately, but if you have any corrections, please leave them in the comments. If
the chords are in the wrong place in relation to the words it's not my fault. It
would appear UG's tab preview doesn't quite fit what the tab looks like when I've
pasted it in to the box, but hopefully it will come out ok!
