Capo: 1

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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkwNpFxRDFg&feature=g-u-u 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. * UPDATE * Pete has subsequently posted a new tutorial for this song, which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZp-UNr37uY&feature=g-u-u There are a few subtle differences, so I'll leave it up to you to decide which version you like best :-) Chords D - [xx0232] D/C# - [x40232] Dsus2 - [xx0230] Bm - [x24432] Bm11 - [x04430] Bb - [x13331] B11 - [x21202] Em7 - [022030] Em7* - [xx2033] Em7** - [xx2030] Em - [022000] A7 - [x02020] C/G - [332010] G - [320033] Gm - [355333] F - [133211] Fm7 - [033200] F#7 - [242322] NOTE: For all chords with a specific root note [Bm, Bm11, D/C#] , emphasise the bass note on the downstrum.
