The Yellow Rose of Texas Chords by Michael Martin Murphey

[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see.
[Gm] [D] No other cowboy knows her,
nobody only me.
[G] She cried so when I left her, it like broke her heart.
[C] And if we
[G] ever meet again [D] we never more [G] shall part.
She's the sweetest rose of color this
cowboy ever knew.
[D] Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like dew.
[G] Hear me talk
about your dearest maid who sang of Rosalie.
[C] But the yellow [G] rose of Texas
[D] beats the bells of [G] Tennessee. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [G] _ _ _ Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the stars are
shining bright, [D] we walked along together on a quiet summer night.
[G] She said if you
remember when we parted long ago, [C] you promised [G] to come back [D] again and never
[G] leave me so.
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew.
Her [D] eyes are
bright as diamonds, they sparkle like dew.
[G] You may talk about your dearest maid who
sang of Rosalie, [C] but the yellow [G] rose of Texas [D] beats the bells of [G] Tennessee. _ _ _ _

_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ I'm
going back to see her.
My heart is full of woe.
[D] We'll sing the songs together we sang so
long ago.
[G] We'll pick the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore.
[C] And the yellow
[G] rose of Texas will [D] be mine [G] forevermore.
She's the sweetest rose of color this
cowboy ever knew.
[D] Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like dew.
[G] You may
talk about your dearest maid who sang of Rosalie, [C] but the yellow rose [G] of Texas
beats [D] the bells of [G] Tennessee.
