[Verse 1]
C C E F
I can see us in a small town

You count the stars up in the sky

Never thought that they could fall down

Onto your suit or on the tie

Across the table at a French place

I lose my way into the wine
C C E F
With your glasses on your pretty face

We can go up, baby we can float up

To the place in the yellow cloud

Yours forever, thumbtack down

How to play Yellow Cloud: key, chords and progression

To play Yellow Cloud by Trixie Mattel, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 4 chords: C, E, F and G.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – E – F – C (I – III – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – fah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, F needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
