C                               Em 
1. So long boy, you can take my place,  
    Am                         Em 
    got my papers, I've got my pay, 
         Am                                 Dm                    G 
    so pack my bags and I'll be on my way, to Yellow River. 
     C                                Em 
2. Put my gun down, the war is won, 
   Am                             Em 
    fill my glass now, the time has come, 
          Am                       Dm                G 
    I'm going back to the place I love, Yellow River. 
  C                                         Em                     G 
Yellow River, Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes. 
  C                                        Em                               G 
Yellow River, Yellow River is in my blood, it's the place I love. 
Am                                           G 
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose, 
     Dm                                                    G         
tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon at 
 Am                   - F - G 
Yellow River. 
      C                         Em               Am                         Em 
3. Cannon fire lingers in my mind, I'm so glad that I'm still alive, 
           Am                        Dm                         G 
    and I've been gone for such a long time, Yellow River. 
   C                        Em                      Am                        Em 
4. I remember, the nights were cool, I can still see the water pool, 
         Am                     Dm                              G 
    and I remember the girl that I knew, from Yellow River.
