Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I said grandpa whats this picture here

Its all black and white it aint real clear

Is that you there?

He said yeah i was 11

Times were tough back in '35

Thats me and uncle Joe just tryin to survive

A cotton farm in the great depression.

(Chorus)

If it looks like we were scared to death

Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other

You should've seen it in color.

(Verse 2)

Ohh and this one here was taken over seas

In the middle of hell in 1943

In the winter time you can almost see my breath

That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee

He was a high school teacher from new Orleans

And he had my back right through the day we left.

(Chorus)

If it looks like we were scared to death

Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other

You should've seen it in color.

A picture's worth a thousand words

But you cant see what those

shades of gray keep covered

You should've seen it in color

(Verse 3)

This one is my favorite one.

This is me and grandma in the summer sun

All dressed up the day we said our vows.

You can't tell it here but it was hot that June

That rose was red and her eyes were blue

And just look at that smile I was so proud.

(Bridge)

Thats the story of my life

Right there in black and white

(Chorus)

If it looks like we were scared to death

Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other

You should've seen it in color.

A picture's worth a thousand words

But you cant see what those

shades of gray keep covered

You should've seen it in color

Its a freakin great song. hope you enjoy it.
