(Guy)
D
There’s a yellow rose in Texas
G D G
I’m going home to see
A
Though other men have held her
Her heart belongs to me
(Lady)
G D
You’ve traveled down some dusty roads
You’ve slept out in the rain
G D
But this yellow rose is always here
D A D
When you come home again
Chorus:
D G
(Guy) She knows I’ve done some hard time
D G
(Lady) You stumbled then you fell
A
I just kept your pride from dying
(Guy) You saved my sould from hell
D G
(both) She’s the diamond of the desert
D
She’s the golden flower of spring
G D
She’s the yellow rose of Texas
D A D
She can make a man a king
(Guy)
D
There’s a yellow rose in Texas
G D
She knows the dues I’ve paid
G A
And I’m going home to tell her
I wish I’d never strayed
(Lady)
G D
You couldn’t see beyond yourself
G A
Your pain and wounded pride
G D
But now you know the truth is
D A D
in the way you feel inside
Chorus
G D
Yes the yellow rose of Texas can
D A D
make a man a kind
Beats the bells of Ten-nes-see.
