So long boy, you can take my place, got my papers, I've got my pay,
     Am                                     Dm                  G
so pack my bags and I'll be on my way, to Yellow River.

Put my gun down, the war is won, fill my glass now, the time has come,
      Am                         Dm              G
I'm going back to the place I love, Yellow River.

C                                              Em                    G
Yellow River, Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes.
C                                              Em                            G
Yellow River, Yellow River is in my blood, it's the place I love.
Am                                            G
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose,

tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon at
Am                   F     G      
Yellow River.

and I've been gone for such a long time, Yellow River.
C                         Em                      Am                         Em
I remember, the nights were cool, I can still see the water pool,
      Am                      Dm                             G
and I remember the girl that I knew, from Yellow River.

C                                              Em                    G
Yellow River, Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes...
