The Yellow Rose of Texas chords
American / Texas Folk Music

          G
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm going for to see,
                 D            D7
no other soldier knows her, nobody only me.
    G
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
    D7        G            D     D7        G
and if I ever find her, we never more will part.

          G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
                       D               D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
        G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
        D7             G               D         D7    G
but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.

          G
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and starry skies are bright,
                    D             D7
she walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
    G
She thinks if I remember we parted long ago;
  D7               G              D     D7      G
I promised to come back again and never let her go.

          G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
                       D               D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
        G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
        D7             G               D         D7    G
but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.

    G
Oh, now I'm going to find her, my heart is full of woe;
                      D         D7
we'll sing the song together we sang so long ago.
      G
We'll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore,
        D              G             D       D7   G
and the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forever more.

          G
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
                       D               D7
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
        G
You may talk about your winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
        D7             G               D         D7    G
but the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
