[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
