I said, "Grandpa, what's this picture here?
         LAbadd9       
It's all black and white, and it ain't real clear
   MIb                                     SIb
Is that you there?", he said, "Yeah, I was 11"
                                 
"And times were tough back in '35
       LAbadd9
That's me and uncle Joe 
                       MIb
just tryna survive a cotton farm
             SIb
In a great depression"
                                 
If it looks like we were scared to death
       LAbadd9                             MIb
Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other
                           SIb
You should've seen it in color

        SIb
Oh, and this one here's taken overseas
       LAb                           MIb
In the middle of hell in 1943 in the winter time
                     SIb
You can almost see my breath
                           
That was my tail gunner ol' Johnny Magee
         LAb
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
       MIb                                 SIb
And he had my back right through the day we left

      SIb                   
If it looks like we were scared to death
       LAb                                 MIb
Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other
                           SIb
You should've seen it in color
                         
A picture's worth a thousand words
        LAb
But you can't see what 
                           MIb
those shades of gray keep covered
                           SIb      LAb
You should've seen it in color

MIb      SIb

SIb          
This one is my favorite one
        LAbadd9 
This is me and Grandma in the summer sun
  MIb                              SIb
All dressed up the day we said our vows
                                          
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
         LAbadd9         
And that rose was red and her eyes were blue
         MIb                         SIb
And just look at that smile, I was so proud

SOLm         FA         MIbadd9
  That's the story of my life
SOLm    FA                 MIb   FA
  Right there in black and white

          SIb
And if it looks like we were scared to death
       LAb                                 MIb
Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other
                           SIb
You should've seen it in color

Yeah, a picture's worth a thousand words
        LAb
But you can't see what 
                          MIb
those shades of gray keep covered
                           SIb
You should've seen it in color....

LAb      MIb                      SIb
          (Should've seen it in color)
                     
Yeah, a picture's worth a thousand words
        LAb
But you can't see what 
                          MIb
those shades of gray keep covered
                           SIb
