(C)I'm comin' home, I've done my (Em)time,
now I've (Gm) got to know what (A7) is and isn't (Dm) mine.
If you received my (Fm)letter tellin' (C) you I'd soon be (Am)free,
(D)then you'll know just (D7)what to do (Fm)if you still want (G)me, (Fm) if you still want (G)me. (G7)
CHORUS:
Oh, (C) tie a yellow ribbon round the (Em)ole oak tree,
it's been (Gm)three long years, do you (A7)still want (Dm)me?
If (Fm)I don't see a ribbon round the (C)ole oak (Am)tree,
I'll (C) stay on the bus, (Am)forget about us. (C) Put the blame on (A) me.
If (Dm)I don't see a (Fm)yellow ribbon (D7)round the (G7)ole oak (C)tree.
(Em) (Dm) (G)
(C)Bus driver please look for (Em) me,
‘cause I (Gm)couldn't bear to (A7)see what I might (Dm)see.
I'm really still in (Fm)prison and my (C)love she holds the (Am)key,
a (D)simple yellow (D7)ribbon's what I (Fm)need to set me (G)free,
I (Fm) wrote and told her (G) please. (G7)
CHORUS: (C) (Em) (Gm) (A7) (Dm)
Now the (Dm)whole darn bus is (Fm) cheerin' and I (C)can't
(Am) believe I (A7) see,
a (Dm)hundred yellow (Fm) ribbons 'round the (D7) ole (G7) oak (C) tree.
(C) (Em) (Gm) (A) (Dm) (G) (C) (Em) (Gm) (A) (Dm) (G)(C) (C)
