[Verse 1 - Light drums - Pluck chords on first note then chug their bass note to simulate record]
[G] Look at the stars
Look how they shine for [D] you
And everything you do [Cmaj7]      
Yeah, they were all yellow
[G] I came along
I wrote a song for [D]  you
And all the things you do [Cmaj7]      
And it was called "Yellow"
[G] ...........  So then I took my [D]  turn
Oh, what a thing to have done [Cmaj7]      
And it was all yellow  [G] ([Gsus4] [G])  
 
[Chorus 1]
[Cmaj7] Your skin
[Em7] Oh yeah, your [D] skin and bones
[Cmaj7] Turn in....  to [Em7]something [D] beautiful
[Cmaj7] You know,  [Em7] you know I  
[D] love you so [Cmaj7]  (drums stop)
You know I love you so

[Verse 2]
[G]   I swam across
I jumped across for [D]  you
Oh, what a thing to do [Cmaj7]      
'Cause you were all yellow
[G]  I drew a line
I drew a line for [D] you
Oh, what a thing to do [Cmaj7]      
And it was all yellow  [G]     [Gsus4]      
 
[Chorus 2]
[C] Your skin
[Em7] Oh yeah, your  [D] skin and bones
[Cmaj7] Turn in.... [Em7] to something [D] beautiful
[Cmaj7] And you know [Em7] For you I  
[D] bleed myself  [Cmaj7] dry (drums stop)
For you I bleed myself dry
