Kris Delmhorst - Yellow Brick Road
Am G C F
Well, I'm off to see the wizard in his castle on the hill
Am G C F
And I never once have known him and I do not know him still
Am G C F
Because his face, it is magnificent, but you'll never see his hands
Am G
And the way he throws his voice around, I don't know where he stands
Am G C F
I'm off to see the wizard with his curtain and his crowd
Am G C F
But my hands are not trembling and my head it is not bowed
Am G C F
'Cause I'm not looking for any answers, no truths to be revealed
Am G
All that I am asking, is to show me something real
CHORUS:
C G/B
'Cause I'm not on no yellow brick road
Am G F C
Got a mind and a heart and guts of my own
G/B F
I'm not looking for a' one to set me free
C G/B Am
I'm not on no yellow brick road___
I'll find my own way home
F G C
I'm just looking for someone to walk with me
INTERLUDE: C G F C G F
Am G C F
Hey you, behind the curtain, tell me what is it you see?
Am G C F
From where you sit does it appear, that everyone is on their knees?
Am G C F
Their eyes are wide and hopeful and the line grows at the door
Am G
Do you sit up there and wonder, how you'll ever give them more?
CHORUS:
C G/B
Well, I'm not on no yellow brick road
Am G F C
Got a mind and a heart and guts of my own
G/B F
I'm not looking for a' one to set me free
C G/B Am
I'm not on no yellow brick road___
I'll find my own way home
F G
I'm just looking for, I'm looking for, I'm looking for someone
BRIDGE:
D G
Oh oh, don't say that it's not lonely up above the crowd
D G
Don't tell me you don't find yourself a-longing for the ground
D F C
When I asked him one more time, "Won't you tear the curtain down"
D G
He said, "Don't you know, there's nothing here but me"
Dm G
And I said, "Baby, who'd you think I came to see?"
