I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me
Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
( )
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
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 & bridge, skipping part in (), then to harmonica solo
x2
(slower, single appregios)
Now the whole damn bus is cheerin' and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree, tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree, tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

P.S.
I like playing this song barred, but you can of course use
regular fingerings for any or all of these chords. Might be
a tad hard to play barred with capoed 5th fret with say,
heavy gauge bronze. :)
