E                   G#m            C#m                G#m
So long boy you can take my place, got my papers I've got my pay 
   C#m                       F#m           B7
So pack my bags, and I'll be on my way, to yellow river 

E                    G#m
Put my guns down the war is won, 
C#m                    G#m
fill my glass high the time has come 
    C#m               F#m                B7
I'm going back to the place that I love, yellow river 

E                             G#m            B7
Yellow river, yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes 
E                             G#m                  B7
Yellow river, yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love 

C#m                         B7

         B7                     C#m         A B7
sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river 

E                   G#m         C#m                  G#m
Cannon fire lingers in my mind, I'm so glad that I'm still alive 
    C#m                F#m                    B7
And I've been gone for such a long time, from yellow river 

E              G#m               C#m                 G#m
I remember the nights were cool, I can still see the water pool 
    C#m            F#m                    B7
And I remember the girl that I knew, from yellow river 

E                             G#m            B7
Yellow river, yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes 
E                             G#m                  B7
Yellow river, yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love 

C#m                         B7
Got no time for explanation got no time to lose, 
  F#m 
tomorrow night you'll find me 
         B7                     C#m         A B7
sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river 

E                             G#m            B7
Yellow river, yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes 
E                             G#m                  B7
Yellow river, yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love
