For those who fancy colouring books..(lots of
       F#7   A9       B7          Amaj7 E
people do..) here's a new one for you.
  B            G#m7                C#m7
A most unusual colouring book..the kind you 
      F#7  C#m7           F#7        C#m7 
never see..crayons ready? very well..begin to 
F#7    B
colour me.

#1.
B             E         B              F#7  
These are the eyes that watched him as he walked 
 B    F#7         B    C#m D#m C#m B7
away..colour them gray.
B           E          B                F#7 
This is the heart that thought he would always be 
B    B7 C#m7   F#7       B    C#m B7
true...........colour it blue.

BRIDGE:
Bm7           A         Amaj7         A6
These are the arms that held him, and touched him, 
     Amaj7        A   Amaj7 A6  A           G#m7   C#9
then lost him somehow...........colour them empty, now.
G7            E       B          F#7        B    B7 C#m7
These are the beads I wore until she came between.....
F#7         B     C#m  B7
colour them green.

#2.
Bm7         A      Amaj7         A6           Amaj7
This is the room I sleep in, and walk in, and weep in,
    A        Amaj7       A6  Amaj7  A         G#m
and hide in, that nobody sees.......colour it lonely, 
C#9
please.
G7          E          B        F#7      B  B7 C#m7
This is the man, whose love I depended upon..
F#7         B   
colour him..gone.
