Intro: C Am Dm7 G

C (x32010@1)The color-coded town,
     Am (x02210@1)                  
They had one rule no grays allowed,
        Dm7    
It was a great offense,
G7 (320001@1)  It brought no compliments,

C (x32010@1) A stranger to the town he came,
Am (x02210@1)And met a girl that very few would say,
Dm7
Is worth thinking of,
G7 (320001@1)Still he fell in love,

C (x32010@1)            E7 (020130@1)          Am7And (x02010@1)he brought her flowers every day,
        Dm7
And she loved them,
                   G7She (320001@1)loved him she'd never felt that way,
C (x32010@1)                      E7 (020130@1)             Am7 (x02010@1)C7 (x32310@1)But they said hey those flowers they are gray,
                              Dm7
They can't stay no, no, well, well,
                    G7 (320001@1)                             CWe'll (x32010@1)let it slide, but read our signs we don't like grays,
 

C (x32010@1)Then one day they saw her in a dress,
Am (x02210@1)A gift from him it was gray and red,
   Dm7
It stopped them in their tracks,
G7 (320001@1)Ooo, they knew it matched,

C (x32010@1)A revolution there was shortly found,
AmInside (x02210@1)that color-coded town,
Dm7
 Same happy, some enraged,
        G7So (320001@1)they marched on over to the place where,

C (x32010@1)            E7 (020130@1)          Am7He (x02010@1)brought her flowers every day,
        Dm7
And she loved them,
                   G7She (320001@1)loved him she'd never felt that way,
C (x32010@1)                   E7 (020130@1)            Am7 (x02010@1)C7 (x32310@1)But they cried let's take him to his grave,
                            Dm7
He can't stay no, no, well, well,
                        G7We've (320001@1)done told him once, but now he's done,

            Am7 (x02010@1)            C7They (x32310@1)cried, We told you stay away,
From that crazy color,
Dm7
 Turn around if you don't we'll break you,
Dm7
 And you don't have anyone to save you,

Am7 (x02010@1)                     C7 (x32310@1)He said, She needs me to stay,      
Cuz gray can take her sorrow,
Dm7                
 So I will die tonight so she will know,
G7 (320001@1)That gray will stay in the color-code, yeah

Dm7
 For my love I will die you know,
    G7But (320001@1)before I do let the record show,

C                   E7 (020130@1)          Am7 (x02010@1)That I brought her flowers every day,
        Dm7

                    Dm7

G7 (320001@1)And I'll come back,
