Intro: E A Gbm B7 E  Gbm \ B7
 
             E
When I think back 
           E7                A
on all the crap I learned in high school 
Gbm
It's a wonder 
B7             E  Gbm B7
I can think at all 
              E          E7
And though my lack of education 
       A
hasn't hurt me none
Gbm             B              E   E7
I can read the writing on the wall 
 

    A Db7 Gb
Kodachrome 
    Gb7            Bm          E
You give us those nice bright colors 
                A         D
You give us the greens of summers 
          B             E               A    Db7 Gb
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah! 
Gb7      Bm    E
I got a Nikon camera 
                 A    D
I love to take a photograph 
               B       E           A   A Dbm Gbm B B7
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away 
 

            E               E7
If you took all the girls I knew
           A
when I was single 
    Gbm                 B7             E    Gbm B7
And brought them all together for one night 
              E
I know they'd never match 
   E7         A
my sweet imagination 
Gbm                   B        B7        E    E7
And everything looks worse in black and white

You give us the greens of summers
