[Intro] D A D G A D [Verse 1]
D                                   
   I was traveling through the country

                    Gm
A golden sunset at my back

   G
And when nighttime overtook me

A                             D
I found a place to hang my hat
[Chorus 1]
   A          D
So I walked in through the front door

                           G
The smell of cigarettes and paint

                 A
That's when I first set my eyes on

D
The yellow rose of Santa Fe
[Verse 2]
  G                           
She was dancing with no music

A                           D
She was floating in the air

                      G
And all the while that precious flower

                                   A
Stayed between her strands of hair

F#m                               D
I asked if she'd ever been lonely

         A                     G
She said I've never been at all

               A
So she took me worn and weary

    G               D
And led me drifting down the hall

A                                D
  She read me like the front page

                 G
And she loved me like a storm

                            A
Though she fixed me with her cold gaze

          G            D
I've never seen a smile so warm
[Chorus 2]
               G
In the morning she was nowhere

A                 D
 As the moon is in the day

                 G
The only souvenir she left me

D                A          D
The yellow rose of Santa Fe
G A D G A Bm G A D [Verse 3]
D 
  Now I moved on and I got married

                  G
Had three children with my wife

                        A
There's not a single day that passes

                       D
That I'm not happy with my life
[Chorus 3]
D
 But I'm still walking with my shoes off

             A                    G
I don't think about her every day

                    A
But I still carry it with me

                   D
The yellow rose of Santa Fe

D      G
  I was traveling through the country

   A                 D
The golden sunset in a haze

                       G
And I can see it in the red sky

Am                  D
  The yellow rose of Santa Fe

                   G
I can see it in the red sky

A
