Verse 1
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called Yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
Chorus 1
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
Verse 2
I swam across I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line I drew a line for you
Oh, what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Chorus 2
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know, for you,
I'd bleed myself dry
For you, I'd bleed myself dry
Bridge
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Outro
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
Fun fact
The Coldplay hit ”Yellow" is one of the bands signature songs. The leader of the band, Chris Martin has explained, ” ’Yellow’ refers to the mood of the band. Brightness and hope and devotion.”
The band wrote the song and recorded it in the same day! Chris Martin often times use chords that have tension intervals in them, and in ”Yellow”, you can really hear that in the great guitar parts.
One example is the B major chord with the added 4th, which creates tension between the major 3rd and the 4th of the chord. Have fun jamming along with ”Yellow”!
