I just worked this out from listening to the song and playing along.
I have included the chords, but most of the song is played just picking the base note and B string, your
finger basically doesn't need to move from the 3rd fret on the B string for the whole song.
I use picking until the solo is played and then strum the rest of the song, finishing off the last few chords
with either picking again or just strumming once and letting them ring.

DDirt black track
GFeet brown bare
DLate Summer heat
GChild stands there
DBlack track dirt
GBare feet brown
DWonderland
GFar from town
[Chorus]
BmUnder a sky of peppermint trees
GAll to the roar of waves on the beach
Hours to be lBmost in a world of preGtend
Diving deep dBmown, holding it in
Salt on her lGips, scales on her skin
Finding the coBmurage to walk to the end
[Verse]
DBlack dirt track

GBut she don't turn around
[Chorus]
Who ever kBmnew, who ever knew
That a dirt black trGack
Would lead me to you
When I was a gBmirl, it was my Yellow Brick RGoad
Who could've knBmown, who could've known
I'd be walking walking it nGow, with a child of my own
Feeling all the mBmagic that it hoGlds

I just worked this out from listening to the song and playing along.

I have included the chords, but most of the song is played just picking the base note and B string, your

finger basically doesn't need to move from the 3rd fret on the B string for the whole song.

I use picking until the solo is played and then strum the rest of the song, finishing off the last few chords

with either picking again or just strumming once and letting them ring.

[Verse]

Dirt black track

Feet brown bare

Late Summer heat

Child stands there

Black track dirt

Bare feet brown

Wonderland

Far from town

[Chorus]

Under a sky of peppermint trees

All to the roar of waves on the beach

Bm G

Hours to be lost in a world of pretend

Diving deep down, holding it in

Salt on her lips, scales on her skin

Finding the courage to walk to the end

[Verse]

Black dirt track

Bare brown feet

Child's a girl

With secrets to keep

Black track dirt

Feet bare brown

Call her name

But she don't turn around

[Chorus]

Who ever knew, who ever knew

That a dirt black track

Would lead me to you

Bm G

When I was a girl, it was my Yellow Brick Road

Who could've known, who could've known

I'd be walking walking it now, with a child of my own

Bm G

Feeling all the magic that it holds

[Bridge]

Breathing it out

Breathing it in

Cold crystal blue

Dreaming a dream

[Solo]

G Bm G Bm G Bm G

[Chorus]

Who ever knew, who ever knew

That a dirt black track

Would lead me to you

When I was a girl

It was my Yellow Brick Road

Who could've known, who could've known

I'd be walking walking it now, with a child of my own
