          G                         G
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see,

   D                         D
no other cowboy knows her, nobody, only me.

    G                            G
She cried so when I left her, it liked to broke her heart

    C**        G**           D**               G**
and if we ever meet again we never more should part.
[Chorus]
          G                           G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew,

    D                                 D
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.

        G                               G**          G7**
You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,

        C**            G**             D**             G**
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
[Interlude] | G | G | D | D | | G | G** G7** | C** G** | D** | | G | [Verse 2]
         G                             G
When the Rio Grande is flowing and the stars are shining bright

   D                          D
we walked along together on a quiet summer night.

    G                             G**          G7**
She said: if you remember when we parted long ago

    C**              G**            D**            G**
you promised to come back again and never leave me so.
[Chorus]
          G                           G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew,

    D                                 D
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.

        G                               G**          G7**
You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,

        C**            G**             D**             G**
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
[Interlude] | G | G | D | D | | G | G** G7** | C** G** | D** | | G | [Verse 3]
    G                         G
I'm going back to see you, my hearth is full of woe,

      D                          D
we'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago.

      G                       G**               G7**
We'll play my banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore

        C**           G**            D**         G**
and the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forevermore.
[End-Chorus]
          G                           G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew,

    D                                 D
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.

        G                               G**          G7**
You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,

        C**            G**             D**             G**
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
