CAPO 3

(Verse 1)
            G5 
I said grandpa whats this picture here 
          F5
Its all black and white it aint real clear 
      C5
Is that you there? 
                   G5
He said yeah i was 11 
G5
Times were tough  back in '35 
     F5
Thats me and uncle Joe just tryin to survive 
    C5                         G5
A cotton farm in the great depression.

(Chorus)
       G5                                                                       
If it looks like we were scared to death 
        F5                                       C5
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other 
                           G5
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)
E5              D5         C5
      Thats the story of my life 
E5           D5               C5      D5
      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
