1. So long boy, you can take my place,

    Am                 Em
    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.

   C                    Em
2. Put my gun down, the war is won,

   Am                     Em
    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,

   Dm                                   G
tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon at

 Am        - F - G
Yellow River.

    C                 Em          Am                   Em
3. Cannon fire lingers in my mind, I'm so glad that I'm still alive,

        Am                Dm                  G
    and I've been gone for such a long time, Yellow River.

  C               Em                Am                   Em
4. 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.
