[Bb]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, [Ab] 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,
It ain't real clear, [Eb] as I looked you there.
I said yeah, I was a lovin' [Bb] man.
Times were tough back in 35,
Ashley [Ab] and Uncle Joe just trying to [Eb] survive a cotton farm
[F] [Eb]
and a great [Bb] depression.
Never looked like we were scared to death,
like [Ab] a couple kids just trying to save [Eb] each other.
You should have [Abm] seen it in [Bb] color.
This one here was taken overseas [Eb] in the middle [Ab] of hell,
1943, [Eb] in the wintertime.
You can almost see [Bb] my breath.
That was my tail gunner, old Johnny McGee.
He was [Ab] a high school teacher from New [Eb] Orleans
and he had my back right through the day we [Bb] left.
Never looked like we were scared to death,
like [Ab] a couple kids just trying to save each [Eb] other.
You should have seen it in [Bb] color.
A picture's worth a thousand [F] words,
but you [Ab]
can't see what those shades of gray [Eb] keep covered.
You should have seen [F] it [Bb] in color.
[Eb]
[Bb]
Except this one is my favorite one.
This is me and [Ab] Grandma in the summer sun,
[Eb] all dressed up the day we set [Bb] our vow.
You can't tell it here, but it was hot that June
[Eb] and that rose [Ab] was red and her eyes were blue.
[Eb] And son, look at that smile.
[F] [Eb] I was [Bb] so proud.
[Gm]
That's [F] the story of [Bb] my life, [Gm]
[F] right there in black [Bb] and white.
[F] [Bb] And it was just like we were scared to death,
[Ab] like a couple
[Eb] kids just
[Bb]
[Cm]
trying to save
[Eb] each other.
You should have seen it in [Bb] color.
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Bb]
A picture's worth a thousand words,
[Ab] but you can't see what [Eb] those shades of gray keep covered.
[F] You should have seen it [E] in color.
