Verse 1
I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me
Chorus
Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
Bridge
Dm7 Fm6 D7 G7 C (Am Dm G7)
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
Verse 2
Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please
Chorus
Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
Bridge

P.S.
I like playing this song barred, but you can of course use
regular fingerings for any or all of these chords. Might be
a tad hard to play barred with capoed 5th fret with say,
heavy gauge bronze. :)
