Chords for Stan Freberg - The Yellow Rose Of Texas

_ _ _ YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE _ _
Don't let me startle you, I'm just doing the rebel yell here to kinda kick things off, know what I mean? _ _ _ _ _
_ There's a yellow rose in Texas,
That I am gonna save,
[E] Nobody else could miss her,
Not half as much as me,
[A] She clouds the wind and lets it party me,
[D] Oh, that's just a shade loud on the snare drum,
_ She's the [E] sweetest little rose nut,
At Texas Avenue,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds,
They sparkle like the [A]-
See now you've covered up Sparkle like the dew
One of the [D] loveliest parts [A] in the whole
Texas is the only girl for [F] [Bb] me _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ Covered up the piccolos there
Where the rye o' bran? _
Where the rye o'
[Ab] _ Where _
[A] Wha
_ See [Bb] my feeling is that while I love a good snare
Drum I feel that volume wise it's just a little bit too much what you're doing there
See, see, see what I mean?
Now you try and hold it down will ya?
Appreciate it, appreciate it
_ Where the rye o' bran?
Appreciate it
Where the rye o' bran is flowing in the starry sky That's better
She [F] walks along the river
On the quiet, oh that's so much [Bb] better
I know that she remembers
When we parted long ago
You [Eb] know that there's just [Bb] a world of difference Gee, mercy
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her [F] eyes are bright as diamonds
With sparkle like the dew
[Bb] See now you're slipping back in your old habits again
Why do you do [Eb] that?
Why do you?
[Bb] Because Texas is the only girl for me
[Eb] I love a good snare drum like you do _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
People, people, let's go back there
The snare drummer [G] covered up the tra-la-la's
We just do [Bb] it again Smart, Ellie
[Eb]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na [Fm]-na-na _ _ _ -na-na-na-na
[F] You see how lovely that turned out now?
That's the darling part Okay, Banjo
[Bb] Yuck-duck-a-duck-a-duck
That's pretty, that's pretty
Oh, now I'm going to that's pretty
For my heart is full of woe
We'll do the things [F] together we did so long ago
[Bb]
We'll play the banjo [F] gaily
She'll love [Abm] me like we do Excuse [Fm] me
You ain't any kin to the snare drummer, are you?
She's the sweetest little [Bb] rosebud Texas ever knew
Why do you do that?
Why do you burst out [F] like that?
Irritates me
[Bb] That irritates me
That irritates me, doesn't [Eb] it?
Put the albino rosebud back to the [F] tree Hold on!
_ [Dbm] _
_ [D] _ _ _ Hold on, you smart-alecky-anky drummer, you
You can cover up yelling
You can cover up rosebuddy-buddy
But [Eb] don't you cover up Texas
Or I'll stick your head through that cotton-piggin snare drum
And secede from the band
So help me Mitch Miller, I will
[A] And the yellow [F] rose of Texas will be mine forever
[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Cut [Gb] _ _ it off there, the record's over You idiot
Stop, stop now
Say, you stupid old stupid
[E] I'm getting out of here
_ _ He ruined the ending
One of the loveliest parts in the whole piece _ _ _
