The Yellow Rose of Texas chords
American / Texas Folk Music
G+G
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm going for to see,
D MajorD 
D7D7
no other soldier knows her, nobody only me.
G+G
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
and if I ever find her, we never more will part.
G+G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
D MajorD D7D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G+G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
G+G
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright,
D MajorD D7D7
she walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
G+G
She thinks if I remember we parted long ago;
D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
I promised to come back again and never let her go.
G+G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
D MajorD D7D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G+G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
G+G
Oh, now I'm going to find her, my heart is full of woe;
D MajorD D7D7
we'll sing the song together we sang so long ago.
G+G
We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
and the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forever more.
G+G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
D MajorD D7D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G+G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
D7D7 G+G D MajorD D7D7 G+G
but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
