[Verse 1]
(Guy)

There's a yellow rose in Texas
G D G
I'm going home to see
A
Though other men have held her
Her heart belongs to me
[Verse 2]
(Lady)

You've traveled down some dusty roads
You've slept out in the rain
G D
But this yellow rose is always here
D A D
When you come home again
[Chorus]
D G
(Guy) She knows I've done some hard time
D G
(Lady) You stumbled then you fell
A
I just kept your pride from dying
(Guy) You saved my soul from hell
D G
(both) She's the diamond of the desert

She's the golden flower of spring

She's the yellow rose of Texas
D A D
She can make a man a king

There's a yellow rose in Texas

She knows the dues I've paid

And I'm going home to tell her
I wish I'd never strayed

You couldn't see beyond yourself

Your pain and wounded pride

But now you know the truth is
D A D
in the way you feel inside
[Chorus]
D G
(Guy) She knows I've done some hard time
D G
(Lady) You stumbled then you fell

I just kept your pride from dying
(Guy) You saved my soul from hell
D G
(both) She's the diamond of the desert
D
She's the golden flower of spring
G D
She's the yellow rose of Texas
D A D
She can make a man a king
[Outro]
G D
Yes the yellow rose of Texas can
D A D
make a man a king
