[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I see you _ _ found _
A box of my _ things
_ _ _ _ Infantry's tanks and _ smoldering airplane _ _ _ wings _ _ _ _ _ _
_ These old pictures are cool, tell me some stories
Was it like the old war movies?
Sit down son, let me fill you _ in _ _ _ _
_ Where to [G] begin?
_ Let's start with [D] the end
This black and white [A]
photo
Don't capture [D] the skin
From the flash of [G] a gun
To a soldier who's [D]
done
Trust me [A] grandson
The [D] war was in color _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ From shipyard [E] to sea
_ _ [D] From _ [G] factory [D] to _ sky _
From livid to rifle
From boot camp to battle _ cry _ _
I _ _ _ _ _ wore the mask up high
On a daylight run
That held my face in its clammy hand
Crawled over coconut _ logs
And corpses in the coral _ sand
_ _ _ _ _ Where to [G] begin?
Let's start with [D] the end
This black and [A] white photo
Don't [E] capture [Bm] the [D] skin
From the shock of a [G] shell
Or the memory of [D] smell
If red is [A] for hell
The war [D] was in color
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ held the canvas bag over the railing
The dead released with the ships still sailing
Out of our hands
And into the _ swallowing sea
_ _ _ I _ _ _ _ felled the crossfire
Stitching up soldiers
Into a blanket of dead
And as the night grows colder
In a window back home
A blue star is traded for gold
_ _ _ Oh, where to [G] begin?
_ [D] Let's start with the end
This black and [A] white photo
Don't capture [D] the skin
When [G] metal is _ churned
And bodies [D] are burned _ Victory [A] earned
_ War [D] was in color
_ _ Now _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I lay in my [G] grave _
_ At age [D] _ 21 _ _
Long before [Am] you were born _
Before [D] I bore a son _
What good [G] did it do _
Well, [D] hopefully for you
_ [B] A world [A] without war
_ A life [D] full of color
_ Where to [G] _
begin?
Start [D] with the end
This black and white [A] photo
Never captured [D] my skin
_ Once it was [G] torn
From an enemy [D] thorn
_ Straight through [A] the core
The war [D] was in color
Where to [G] begin?
Let's start [D] with the end
This black and white [A] photo
Never captured [D] my skin
From the flash of [G] a gun
To a soldier [D] who's done
Trust me, [A] grandson
The war [D] was in color
Trust me, [A] grandson
The war was [D] in color
Trust me, [A] grandson
_ _ The [E] _ _ _
[A] war [D] was in color _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The _ _ war was in color _
