This is Bob Yeller, I said really?
[Bb] This is Frank, I don't believe you Sinatra.
[G] _ I don't know who you are, but [Bbm] who are you?
He said no really, [F] I'm Bob Oltoni, I'm with my [Bb] wife D'Loris, we're in Dallas, Texas.
And I want to invite you and Talmay and Joyce to perform that new record of yours called Tie Your Mind.
[G] _ _ [B] He _ said there will be 72,000 people welcoming him on P.O. [E].W.'s Vietnam tour. [Bb] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ Need you to know how awesome that is. _ Right? I mean when we get there, heaven's in. [Bm] The record was [F] out about 15 minutes, [Em] that's fine. _ And this [Bb] man, Mr. Hope, knew [B] that that opening line, coming [G] home at midnight, _ was the parents' prayers of every [N] single one of us. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ We'd hear the same thing. 72,000 people were singing this song with us. We're [B] blown away. 500 plus P.O..W.'s sitting on the 50 line. Trust me, their eyes hadn't even adjusted to daylight yet, they were being tortured. And I'm [Bb] looking out and [G] I see this thing. _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] One P.O..W. just sitting with his head down. _ Showers over, not clapping his hands, not saying hello. [B] Showers over, I say, Mr. Hope, did you see that P.O.W.? Talmay and I, Joyce, were very upset. Did we say it? Do we get upset? He just told me, go ask him. So we go up and we ask him. He says, excuse me, sir, my name is Tony Landon, Tom Harbick, I'm with Joyce's. _ He opened the showroom door [Eb] and he said, we'd do anything to upset you. I noticed you weren't clapping your [B] hands, you were singing. I went, oh Joyce, I'm so sorry. _ Allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is John McKinney. _ _ [G] He said, hey, that shirt was out of stock, so I can't clap my hands. But what you didn't see was my big toe kick. [N] I didn't see that. _ Cheers for him. So, I'm going to sing a [Eb] song _ _ for you. [Gm] _ _ _ [Bbm] I've got to know [C] what is and [Fm] isn't mine. If you receive [Abm] my letter telling [Eb] you I'd soon [Cm] be free. [F] Then you'll know just what to do. [Abm] If you still want [Bb] me to show you something, baby friends. [Eb] What I'd be a little ribbon around your [Gm] oak tree. If [Bbm] it's long years and you still [C] want me. And if I don't [Abm] see your ribbon [Eb] around your [Cm] oak tree. [Eb] I'll still be [B] around to get around [Cm] us. Put the blame on me. [Fm] If I don't [Abm] see that yellow ribbon around [Bb] your oak [Eb] tree. I'll be [Cm] at 639 [F] King County. Come on, [Bb] come on, come on. Money's not a thing. [Eb] _ _ Please look at me. [Gm] _ _ [Bb] I look [C] there to see what [Fm] I must see. You know what I mean. [Abm] _ _ [Cm] She holds the key to me. [F] That simple love. Thank you, [Abm] my love. You make me [Bb] so much fun. [Abm] _ And it's all [Bb] turned to me. Let's do it together. You want to dance with me? [Ebm] I'm tired of getting old. I'm [Gm] tired of being old. I'm tired of being old. _ [Bbm] _ Long years and you still [Fm] want me. And if I don't [Abm] see your ribbon [Eb] around your [C] oak tree. [Ebm] I'll still be around [B] to get around [Cm] us. Put the blame on me. [F] If I don't see [Abm] that yellow ribbon [Fm] around [Bb] your [Eb] oak tree. All right, this is your big [Gm] pop. Upstairs, I want to hear you. Turn to the [Bbm] outside. Turn to the outside. [C] TV, you ready? [Fm] They're leaving now. Now the whole place is cheering. [Abm] _ I'm so cheery. [Abm] And the [Eb] people, they [C] see. All [Fm] the holly [Abm] yellow ribbon around the oak. [Bb] Around the oak. All [Eb] the tree behind the oak. _ [Gm] I'm going, I'm going [Bbm] home. _ [Cm] I'm going [Fm] home. [Bb] I'm not going home. [Eb] I'm going home. I'm going [Gm] home. I'm going _ [Bbm] home. [C] All the holly yellow. [F] Oh yeah. [Bb] Just [Eb] like that. TV, right there. Together. _ Ribbon. All the holly yellow ribbon around the oak. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
