Intro: G-G-G-G D-G-(G-D)-G G
There's a (G)yellow
rose in Texas, that I am gonna see,
No(D)body else could miss her, not half as much as me.
She (G)cried so when I
left her, it like to broke my heart,
And (D)if I ever (G)find her, we never(D)more will (G)part.
Chorus
She's the (G)sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her (D)eyes are bright as diamonds, they
sparkle like the dew;
You may (G)talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the (D)yellow rose of (G)Texas
is the only (D)girl for (G)me.
Repeat Intro (option: change key to one semi-tone-higher)
When the (G)Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright,
She (D)walks along the river in the quiet summer
night:
I (G)know that she remembers, when we parted long ago,
I (D)promise to re(G)turn, and (D)not to leave her (G)so.
Chorus
Repeat Intro (option: change key to one semi-tone-higher)
Oh (G)now
I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe,
We will (D)do the things together, that we did so long ago
We'll
(G)play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before,
And the (D)yellow rose of (G)Texas shall be (D)mine for(G)evermore.
Chorus
Repeat Intro fading (without another change of key)
