Sweep up, little sweeper boy, it's you who's got the wig on here
Em G C
Sweep up, little sweeper boy, sweep up
Em G Am
Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow
Em G D
Yellow is the color of the sun
Em G Am
And black is the color of a strangled rainbow
Em G C
That's the color of my loss
Em G Am
Black is the color of my true love's arrow
Em G D
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
