Tie a yellow Ribbon
4 4 5 6
I'm coming home,
6 6 4 -3
I've done my time.
6 6 -6 6 6
Now I've got to know
-5 5 5 -5 6 -5
what is and isn't mine.
6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5
If you received my letter
4 -4 5 5 -6 -6 7
telling you I'd soon be free,
7 7 -6 -6 5 5 -6
Then you'll know just what to do
5 5 -6 -6 -4
if you still want me--
-6 -6 5 5 6
If you still want me.
Chorus
6 7 6 -6 5 6 4
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon
-4 4 -3 -6 6
'round the old oak tree
-4 4 -3 -6 6
It's been three long years,
-4 4 -3 -6 6
do you still want me?
6 6 -5 6 -5 6 5 4 -4
If I don't see a yellow ribbon
5 5 -6 -6 7
'round the old oak tree,
-4 5 5 5 5 4 5 5 5 5
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
4 5 5 -6 -6 7
And put the blame on me.
-6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 4 -4
If I don't see a yellow ribbon
5 5 56 -6 4
round the old oak tree.
Verse 2
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 her and told her please
chorus
Ending--
6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
4 -4 5 5 -6 -6 7
And I can't believe I see
-6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5
A hundred yellow ribbons
4 -4 56 -6 7
'round the old oak tree.
