Tie a yellow ribbon (1973) (midi)

C Em

1. 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,

D D7 Fm G

then you'll know just what to do if you still want me,

Fm G - G7

if you still want me.

C Em

Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree,

Gm A7 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 Am C A

I'll stay on the bus, forget about us. Put the blame on me.

Dm Fm D7 G7 C

If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.

2. Bus driver please look for me,

Gm A7 Dm

‘cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.

Fm C Am

I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key,

D D7 Fm G

a simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free,

Fm G - G7

I wrote and told her please.

+ CHORUS + C - Em - Gm - A7 - Dm - - -

Now the whole darn bus is cheerin' and I can't believe I see,

a hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.
