[Intro] G  Am  D  G

  G                                     Am
I still don't have a single clue by the way I feel tonight
        D                                   G
And I'm more than sure the flowers won't be blooming
  G                                 Am
I picked up dust and I know must be runnin' far behind
       D                         G
By the banks of the yellow Verde River

       C                         G
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
  Em            C       G
I filled my pockets full of its gold
    C                              G
And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'
      Em        C        G
And a single word could not be heard

G                                       Am
Years go by while I pass the time but I just can't seem to leave
     D                                    G
It's hard enough just to keep myself from tryin'
  G                                 Am
I think of all the people that have gone and passed me by
       D                         G
By the banks of the yellow Verde River

       C                         G
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
  Em              C        G
I filled my pockets full of its gold
    C                              G
And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'
      Em       C          G
And a single word could not be heard

     G                                     Am
I've seen my fair and freckled face in the water by my side
    D                               G
I'm smilin' but the pain it still resides
  G                                    Am
I laugh and cry and grin so wide you'd think I lost my mind
       D                         G
By the banks of the yellow Verde River

       C                         G
By the banks of the yellow Verde River
  Em              C       G
I filled my pockets full of its gold
    C                              G
And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'
      Em        C          G
And a single word could not be heard
