[Verse]
C
I've traveled through this country
G
And I'll tell you what I've seen
A million yellow ribbons
C
And I wonder what they mean
F
It's love and hope and sympathy
C
For those who've gone to fight
D
But still I know that none of them
G G7
Can make the killing right
[Verse]
C
When we see two children fighting
G
Don't we try to come between
Get 'em both to talk
C
Instead of acting rough and mean
F
We give 'em love and limits
C
Say now try to get along
D
Then we tell 'em it's alright to kill
G G7
To prove that killing's wrong
[Verse]
C
Sometimes your yellow ribbon
G
Tries to make me feel ashamed
Tells me I'm a traitor
C
That somehow it's me to blame
F
But I can't hide behind it
C
Just to prove that I belong
D
And I won't be an accomplice
G G7
To a thing I know is wrong
[Verse]
C
But I'd wear a yellow ribbon
G
For the peace that's in my heart
I'd wear it for the loved ones
C
That should never have to part
F
I'd wear it for the wasted lives
C
No matter friend or foe
D
And I'd wear it for the children
G G7
If they never had to go
[Verse]
C
Yes, I've seen your yellow ribbons
G
Hanging up all over town
But I don't think they'll ever buy
C
The peace we've never found
[Outro]
F
Oh, the guns will all be silent
C
And the battle flags all furled
G G7
When we tie a yellow ribbon
C
'Round the world
F
Yes, the guns will all be silent
C
And the battle flags all furled
G G7
When we tie a yellow ribbon
C
'Round the world
