F Am Gm C C7
        F                                                    Am
          I'm coming home, I've done my time
                          Cm                        D7              Gm
          Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
             Gm                      Bbm              F          F/E        Dm
          If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
          G7                                                   Bbm                   C
          Then you'll know just what to do, if you still want me
         Bbm                    C7
          If you still want me

                                    F                                               Am
                              Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the ol' oak tree
                                             Cm                                    D7          Gm
                              It's been three long years, do you still want me?
                                 Gm                Bbm                     F   F/E Dm
                              If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
                                   F                             F/C#              Dm       Dm/C       D
                              I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
                                 Gm               Bbm                                 G   C    F     Am  Gm  C
                              If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ol' 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

                              Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the ol' oak tree
                              It's been three long years, do you still want me?
                              If I don't see a ribbon round the old 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 old oak tree
                                                    *Interlude*     F Am Cm D7 Gm C
                                                                                F Am Cm D7 Gm

                        Gm                         Bbm                  F                      D
          Now the whole damn bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
            Gm                     Bbm                       G          C          F
          A hundred yellow ribbons round the ol', the ol' oak tree

                                          F                  Am      Cm  D7  Gm   C7
                                             I'm comin' home...

                                            F
                                             Tie a ribbon round the ol' oak tree
                                            Am
                                             Tie a ribbon round the ol' oak tree
                                            Cm                                D7               Gm  C7
                                             Tie a ribbon round the ol' oak tree

                                             Tie a ribbon round the ol' oak tree
                                             Tie a ribbon round the ol' oak tree
                                             Tie a ribbon round the ol' oak tree...
