I'm coming home, I've done my time.
 6   6   -6   6   6   -5   5  5  -5 6   -5
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.
 6  6  -5   6   -5  6 -5   4  -4   5   5   -6  -6   7
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,
  7     7    -6   -6    5   5 -6  5  5   -6    -6  -4     -6 -6   5     5   6
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me--   If you still want me.

Chorus:
 6   7  6  -6 5   6  4     -4   4   -3  -6   6
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree.
 -4    4    -3   -6    6    -4  4   -3    -6   6
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
 6 6  -5    6 -5  6  5   4 -4     5    5  -6  -6   7
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree,
 -4    5   5  5   5    4  5   5 5  5    4   5   5   -6   -6  7
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, and put the blame on me.
-6 6  -5    6  -5 6  -5  4 -4    5    5  5 6  -6   4
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree.

Verse 2:
 4    4 5    6 6    6   4  -3
Bus driver please look for me.
   6   6   -6  6    6  -5  5    5  -5   6   -5
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.
 6   6  -5   6   -5  6  -5  4  -4   5   5   -6    -6  7
I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key--
7  7  -6  7 -6   7  -6     4  -4  5   5  -6 -6   7
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.
-6  -6   -6   5    5    6
I wrote and told her please.

Ending:
 6   -5   6    -5   6  -5   6  -5   4 -4   5    5  -6  -6 7
Now the whole damn bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
-6 6  -5   6 -5   6  -5     4    -4 5 6  -6   7
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree.
