Hoyt Axton, John Hartford - Yellow Rose of Texas Chords

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's a [Gm] yellow rose [C] in Texas _ that I am going to see.
No [G] other soldier knows her, no soldier, only me.
_ [C] She cried so when I left her, _ it like to broke my heart.
_ [F] And if I ever [C] find her, [G] we never more will [C] part.
_ She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew.
_ Her eyes are like diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You [C] may talk about your dearest Mae, or sing of Rosalie, _
but [F] the yellow rose [C] in Texas is [G] the only one [C] for me.
_ _ _ _ _ Oh now I'm gone to find her, for my heart is full of woe.
And [G] we'll sing the songs together _ that we sung so long ago.
_ We'll play the banjo, Kaylee, _ and we'll sing the songs of yore.
And the [F] yellow [C] rose of Texas shall [G] be mine _ _ forevermore. _ _ _ _
_ Now I'm going southward, for my heart is full of woe.
[G] I'm going _ back to Georgia to find my Uncle Joe. _
[C] You may talk about Joe _ Beauregard, sing of General Lee, _
[F] but the gallant hood of [C] Texas, _ great hell of _ Tennessee. _
[F] But the gallant hood of [C] Texas, _ [G] great hell of _ _ Tennessee.
