[Bbm] If you still [C] wanted me.
[F] What's that yellow river [Am] round the old oak tree?
[Cm] It's been three long years, [D] do we still [Gm] want me?
If I don't [Bbm] see a river [F] round the [A] old [Dm] oak tree,
[F] I'll stay on the bus, [A] forget about [Dm] us, put the [D] blame on [Gm] me.
If I don't [Bb] see a yellow river [Am] round the old [F] oak tree,
[Am] [Gm]
[C] [F] Bus driver, please [Am] look for me,
[Cm] Cause I couldn't [D] bear to see what [Gm] I might see.
I'm really [Bbm] still in prison [Dm] and my love she holds the key.
[G] A simple yellow river's [Bbm] what I need to [C] set me free.
[Bbm] I wrote and told [C] her please.

[Gm] A hundred [Bbm] yellow rivers [Bb] round the old [C] [F] oak tree.
[Am] I'm walking home,
I'm walking [Cm] home.
