The Yellow Rose Of Texas

INTRO:PLAY VERSE INSTRUMENTALLY

           G
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' for to see,
                            D7
No other soldier knows her, nobody only me.
    G
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
    D7                     G     D7          G
And if I ever find her, we never-more will part.


VERSE / VOCALS
          G
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm goin' for to see,
                            D7
No other soldier knows her, nobody only me.
    G
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
    D7                     G     D7          G
And if I ever find her, we never-more will part.
           G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
                                       D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
        G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
        D7                               G       D7    G
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee
VERSE
          G
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright,
                                 D7
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
    G
She thinks if I remember we parted long ago;
  D7                              G     D7      G
I promised to come back again and never let her go.


VERSE
     G
Oh, now I'm goin' to find her, my heart is full of woe;
                                 D7
We'll sing the song together we sang so long ago.
      G
We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore,
        D7                            G       D7    G
And the yellow rose of Texas will be mine for-ever-more.

CHORUS
           G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
                                       D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
        G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
        D7                               G       D7    G
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
