Lyrics
Look at the stars;
look how they shine for (D)you,
and ev ’ry thing you (Cmaj7)do.
Yeah, they were all yel low.
I came a long;
I wrote a song for (D)you,
and all the things you (Cmaj7)do,
and it was called “Yel low.” I drew a line,
So then I took my (D)turn.
Oh, what a thing to have (Cmaj7)done;
and it was all yel low.
Your skin,
oh yeah, (D)your skin and bones
turn in
to some (D)thing beau ti ful.
And you know,
you know (D)I love you so, (C)dry,
you know I love you so.
(G)dry.
I swam a cross,
I jumped a cross for (D)you.
Oh, what a thing to (Cmaj7)do,
’cause you were all yel low.
I drew a line,
I drew a line for (D)you.
Oh, what a thing to have (Cmaj7)do;
and they was all yel low.
Your skin,
oh yeah, (D)your skin and bones
turn in
to some (D)thing beau ti ful.
And you know,
for you (D)I bleed my self (C)dry,
for you I bleed my self (G)dry.
It’s (G)true;
look how they shine for (D6)you,
look how they shine for (Cmaj7)you,
look how they shine for,
look how they shine for (D6)you,
look how they shine for (Cmaj7)you.
Look how they shine.
Look at the stars;
look how they shine for (F)you,
and all the things that you (Cmaj7)do.
