In Color Chords by Jamey Johnson

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ I said, Grandpa, what's this picture here?
[Ab] It's all black and white, and it ain't [F] real clear.
[Eb] Is that you there?
He said, yeah, I was a lover.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
And times were tough back in 35.
That's [Eb] me and Uncle Joe just trying
to [Bb] survive a [Eb] cotton farm and _ a Great [Bb] Depression. _ _ _ _ _
If it looks like we were scared to death,
like [Ab] a couple of kids just trying to [Eb] save each other,
you should have seen it in [Bb] color. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, and this one here was taken overseas
in [Ab] the middle of hell in _ [Eb] 1943, the wintertime.
You can almost see [Bb] my breath. _ _ _ _
That was my tail gunner, old Johnny McGee.
He [Ab] was a high school teacher from New [Eb]
Orleans,
and he had my back right through the day we [Bb] _ left. _ _ _ _
If it looks like we were scared to death,
[Ab] like a couple of kids just trying to save [Eb] each other,
you should have seen it in color.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
A picture's worth a thousand words,
[Ab] but you can't see what those shades of gray [Eb] keep covered.

_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ This one is my favorite one.
[Ab] This is me and Grandma in the summer [F]
sun,
[Eb] all dressed up the day we [Bb] set our vows. _ _ _
You can't tell it here, but it was hot that June.
That [Ab] rose was red and [Eb] her eyes were [F] blue,
and [Eb] just look at that smile.
_ I was [Bb] so proud. _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] That's a story of [Eb] mine _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] right there in black and [Eb] white.
