INTRO: |C///|////|Em///|////|Dm///|////|G///|////|

C Em
I`m comin` home, I`ve done my time,
Gm A7 Dm
now I`ve got to know what is and isn`t mine.
Fm C Am
If you received my letter tellin` you I`d soon be free,
D7 Fm6 G7
then you`ll know just what to do if you still want me,
Fm6 G7
if you still want me.

Chorus:
C Em
Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
Gm A Dm
it`s been three long years, do you still want me?
Fm C E Am
If I don`t see a ribbon round the ole oak tree,
C
I`ll stay on the bus, forget about us.
Am A
Put the blame on me.
Dm7 Fm6 D7 G7 C/// 1st x:
Am///|Dm///|G7///
If I don`t see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree. 2nd x: skip to
musical break

2nd verse:

Bus driver please look for me,
cause I couldn`t bear to see what I might see.
I`m really still in prison and my love she holds the key-
a simple yellow ribbon`s what I need to set me free,
I wrote and told her please.

Chorus
Slow down...
Musical break: C///|Em///|////|Gm///|A / A7 /|Dm///|////

Dm7 Fm6 C A9 (or A7)
Now the whole darn bus is cheerin` and I can`t believe I see,
Dm7 Fm6 D7 G7 C Em Gm A Dm G
C
(a tempo) a hundred yellow ribbons `round the ole oak tree.
