[Verse 1]
[D]Thi[A]s is the story of
the Yellow [D]Bandana,[A]
[E]A handsome you[B]ng soldier,[E]
an[A]d the girl named Rosa[D]na.

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh, way down west,
in the winds on New [A]Mexico.
There lived a girl and the
soldier who [D]loved her so,
And every night 'neath the
full crimson [A]moon above,
This brave young soldier,
would pledge her his [D]love.

[Verse 3]
[D][Chorus]
And he gave Rosan[Eb]a
his [A]yellow [D]bandana,
To [B]wear in her hair,
[Eb]till[Em] he's with[A] her once more[D].
He gave Ros[E]ana [Eb]his yello[A]w bandana,
[D]
[Bm]Mounted his [Em]pony, and [A]rode off to [D]war.
[Eb]

[Verse 4]
His orders came,
and [Bb]he h[Eb]ad to ride we[Bb]st again;
Seems that Apaches were
causing un[Eb]rest again.
He kissed Rosan[Bb]a goodbye[Eb]
as he [Bb]rode away,

[Interlude 1]
Promising this time he'd come back to stay.

[Cm]That [Fm]war w[Bb]as o[Eb]ver,[E][Eb][B]
[E]and he came back [B]home and found
That the Apaches had burned
the whole [E]village down.
And 'neath the tree [B]where [E]he'd
last kissed [B]Rosana,
Gripped [B]on the cross,
[Eb]was his yellow banda[E]na.

[Verse 6]

He gave Rosan[B]a h[Bb]is
yellow [Eb]bandana,
To [Cm]wear in [B]her [Fm]hair,
