Chords for John Conlee - Rose Colored Glasses (Live at Farm Aid 1995)

Well, I've got to have two things here before we do this next song.
Paraphernalia and some help.
[D#] _
You want to come up here, [N] son? _
I don't know if anybody happened to have a pair of these things with them or not,
but we're going to drag these out.
This young man sailing right across here is John William Connolly, my nine-year-old son.
Say hello to everybody, son.
_ You want to help me sing this a little bit?
[Am] All right.
[G] I'll tell you what, you can even [N] wear the official specs, all right?
Will that work?
All right.
My daughter's here, too, Jessica, but she'd never come up here on stage with me, I don't think.
You'd think she would?
No, a little bit shy.
But [Cm] you'll help me out.
This goes [E] back to 1978, our first big hit record, thanks to you.
[G] You know what it is.
_ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ I don't know why [C] I keep [D] on believing
[C] You'd need me [D] when you've proved so many times
That it ain't true _ _ _
And [G] I can't find [C] one good reason [D] for staying
_ [C]
Maybe [D] my leaving would be the best for you _ _
[C] _ [D] [G] I need _ [C] rose-colored [D] glasses _
[Em] That [D] _ [G] _ _ [C] I'm looking [D] _ through _
_ [G] Tell them _ [C] all _ [D] the beauty _
_ [G] Girls they _ [C] like _ [D] all too
And _ [G] they let me [C] hold on to
[D] The good times, [C] the good life
[D] The ones I used to hear when I held you
And _ [G] they keep [C] me moving
[D] So keep eating, [C] keep eating
[D] When reflection's in your eyes
Show me a fool _ _
_ [G] These _ [C] rose _ [D]-colored glasses _
That _ [G] _ _ [C] I'm looking [D] _ through _
[Em] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ [C] Show me _ [D] the _ beauty
_ [G] Girls they [C] like _ [D] all too
So _ [G] I'll just [C] keep on hoping, _ [D] believing
[C] That maybe [D] by counting the many times I've tried _ _
_ [G] You'd need [C] me when I say [D] I love you
[C] And I'll make [D] these rose-colored [G] [D] glasses [G] a sign
_ [D] _
_ [G] These _ [C] rose _ [D]-colored glasses _
That [G] _ _ _ [C]
I'm looking [D] _ through _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C]
Only [D] for you, _ baby
[G] Girls they [C] like _ [D] all too _ _
_ [Em] _ [F#m] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _
