Put my gun down, the war is won. Fill my glass high the time has come.

Yellow River, Yellow River, is in my mind and in my eyes.
E                                G#m                  B
Yellow River, Yellow River, it’s in my blood it’s the place that I love.

Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose.

Tomorrow night you’ll find me sleepin’ underneath the moon at Yellow River.

E                   G#m         C#m                  G#m
Cannon fire lingers in my mind. I’m so glad that I’m still alive.

And I’ve been gone for such a long time from Yellow River.

E              G#m               C#m                 G#m
I remember the nights were cool, I can still see the water pool.
    C#m            F#m                   B      B/A     B/G#  B/F#
And I remember the girl that I knew from Yellow River.

Yellow River, Yellow River, it’s in my blood it’s the place that I love.
