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,
Bbm6 C7 Bbm6 C7
if you still want me.. if you still want me..

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old Oak tree, It's been three long years, do you still want me?

If I don't see a ribbon round the old Oak tree, I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
