Levine & L. Russell Brown
Performed by Tony Orlando & Dawn
Verse 1:
[C]I'm coming home, I've [Am]done
my [Em]time
Now I've [Gm7]got to know what [A]is
and [Gdim]isn't [Dm]mine
[A7] [Dm]
If [F]you received my [Fm]letter
telling [C]you I'd soon be [Am]free
[D7]Then you know just [D9]what
to do [Fm]if you [Dm7]still
want [G7]me
[Fm7]If you [Gm7]still
[Fm7]want [G7]me
Refrain:
Oh, [C]tie a yellow [Am7]ribbon
round the [Em]old oak tree
It's been [A7]three [Gdim]long
[Gm7]years, [A7]do
you [Dm]still [A7]want
[Dm]me?
If [F]I don't see a [Fm]ribbon
round the [C]old oak [Am]tree
I'll [C]stay on the bus, [Em]forget
about us,
[Am]Put the blame on [A9]me
If [Dm]I don't see a [Dm7]yellow
[Fm7]ribbon [D7]round
the [G]old oak [C]tree
[Am] [Dm] [G7]
Verse 2:
[C]Busdriver, please [Am]look
for [Em]me,
'Cause I [Gm7]couldn't bear to [A]see
what [Gdim]I might [Dm]see
[A7] [Dm]
I'm [F]really in [Fm]prison,
and my [C]love she holds the [Am]key
A [D7]simple yellow [D9]ribbon's
what I [Fm]need to [Dm7]set
me [G7]free
I [Fm7]wrote and [Gm7]told
[Fm7]her, [G7]please...
Refrain
End:
Now the [Dm]whole damn [Dm7]bus
is [Bb9]cheering
[Fdim]And I [C]can't
believe I [A7]see
A [Dm]hundred [Dm7]yellow
[Fm7]ribbons [Fdim]round
the [D7]old [G7]oak
[C]tree!
[Em] [Gm]
[A] [Dm] [G]
[C]
