Enjoy! Capo at 2 Intro: Sweep up, little sweeper boy, it's you who's got the wig on here Sweep up, little sweeper boy, sweep up Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow Yellow is the color of the sun And black is the color of a strangled rainbow That's the color of my loss Black is the color of my true love's arrow Just the color of human blood You got a shot of shampoo Though it was made thirty years ago Yeah you still got a shot of shampoo Though you were made twenty years ago (Harmonica solo, same chords repeat) Speak up, little sweeper boy, they are hard of hearing Anything that anyone has to say I say yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow Yellow like the color of the sun Well black is the color of a strangled rainbow Just the color of my loss Black is the color of my true love's arrow Exactly the color of my blood But I don't want to die I'll ever die tomorrow maybe Above a near perfect square of sky You are worth your weight in gold, you are worth your weight in sorrow baby Though you will never know why
