C5          C5        A5       E5    B5  
I'm coming home, I've done my time; 
         G5              A5      G5   D5    A5   D5 
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine. 
    F5              F5     F5    C5       C5      A5  
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,  
D5        A5       D5     A5  F5     D5        G5 
Then you know just what to do   if you still want me,  
F5     G5  F5  G5 
If you still want me.  
 
Refrain: 
     C5      C5  A5    A5     E5        B5  
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. 
           A5   G5 G5      A5      D5    A5  D5 
It's been three long years -- do you still want me? 
   F5             F5                C5   E5   A5 
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree  
G5    C5               C5   
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, 
A5      A5     A5 
Put the blame on me  
   D5       D5 D5    F5     D5        G5        C5   A5  D5  G5 
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree. 
C5          C5     A5      E5    B5  
Busdriver, please look for me, 
          G5              A5      G5     D5    A5   D5 
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.  
     F5        F5     F5     C5       C5       A5 
I'm really in prison, and my love she holds the key:  
  D5      A5    D5       A5   F5     D5       G5 
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free; 
   F5      G5  F5   G5 
I wrote and told her, please,  
 
Repeat Refrain: 
 
Coda: 
        D5         D5      Bb5 
Now the whole damn bus is cheering,  
F5  C5        C5    A5 
And I can't believe I see  
   D5     D5    F5     F5      D5  G5    C5  E5 G5 A5 D5 G5 C5 
A hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree.
