"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#m7 F
All the young girls love Alice
C D7
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#m7 F
All the young girls love Alice
C D7
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#m7 F
All the young girls love Alice
C D7
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#m7 F
All the young girls love Alice
C D7
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
