[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
