Yellow rose of Texas (video) (midi)

D - G - D (2x)

D

1. There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going home to see,

A

though other men have held her, her heart belongs to me.

D

You've traveled down some dusty roads, you've slept out in the rain,

G D D A D

but this yellow rose is always here when you come home again.

D

She knows I've done some hard time, you stumbled, then you fell,

A

I just kept your pride from dying, you saved my soul from hell.

D

She's the diamond of the desert, she's the golden flower of spring,

G D D A D

she's the yellow rose of Texas, she can make a man a king.

+ instrumental = CHORUS

D

2. There's a yellow rose in Texas, she knows the dues I've paid,

A

and I'm going home to tell her I wish I'd never strayed.

D

You couldn't see beyond yourself, your pain and wounded pride,

G D D A D

but now you know the truth is in the way you feel inside.

+ CHORUS

G D D A D

+ Yes, the yellow rose of Texas can make a man a king.
