[Intro] G D C G G [VERSE 1]
G              D             C         G
Once I loved a young girl as I loved my life

      D             C            G           D   
And I thought in my mind I could make her my wife

         G            D                 C          D
With her white cotton stockings and her high ankle shoes

        G              D                C        G
And she wears a yellow handkerchief wherever she goes
[Chorus]
G                   D                 C           G              
So wear this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me

    D                  C            G          D
And wear it round your neck love in flash company

      G          D           C          D        
Flash company my boys like a great many more

      G                      D           C                 G             
If it hadn't been for flash company I'd never have been so poor
[Verse 3]
G            D            C        G
Fiddling and dancing were all my delight

    D             C           G         D
But keeping flash company has ruined me quite

    G         D                    C          D
Has ruined me quite my love like a great many more

      G                          D           C                  G
If it hadn't have been for flash company I'd never have been so poor
[Chorus]
G                   D                 C           G              
So wear this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me

    D                  C            G          D
And wear it round your neck love in flash company

      G          D           C          D        
Flash company my boys like a great many more

      G                      D           C                 G             
If it hadn't been for flash company I'd never have been so poor
[Verse 3]
G            D         C          G
Once I had a colour as red as the rose

    D          C           G         D 
But now I'm as pale as the lily that grows

       G             D             C          D
Like a flower in the garden all my colour has gone

          G               D            C           G
Don't you see what I have come to from loving this one
[Chorus]
G                   D                 C           G              
So wear this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me

    D                  C            G          D
And wear it round your neck love in flash company

      G          D           C          D        
Flash company my boys like a great many more

      G                      D           C                 G             
If it hadn't been for flash company I'd never have been so poor
