                        "Rose Coloured Glasses"
                             (Scott McCarl)

Intro (piano):

	C     C G    C     C G   Bb    Bb F    G    /F#
	/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

	        Em       Gmaj7/D  [r.h. keyboard voicing: D-F#-G-B]
	I'm an ivory tower boy
	        C                G/B 
	Never quite put down the toys
	  Am7              D7           G   Gsus2/F#  [r.h: D-G-A]
	I always made the best of them all
	       Em       Gmaj7/D
	I see only sunny skies
	          C            G
	With the wool over my eyes
	        Am7               D7   /C      B7
	I never seem to find the crack or the fault

Chorus:

	   C                  D              G      A
	I see it all through rose-coloured glasses
	            D                  G   G7/B
	And I only see what matters to me
	   C                   D                B7    E7
	I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah
	                  Am7   D7
	The world that I chose
	                C/G  G
	Is coloured [1: rose   ]
	                C/G  G /F#
		    [2: rose       (to solo)]
	            [3: (to coda)]
Verse 2:

	It's a funny sort of haze
	All full of dreams of yesterdays
	And the dreams are so real you could cry
	And you know the grass is green
	On the side you've never seen
	And the thought is what helps you get by

[repeat chorus]

Guitar solo [2X]:

	Gm/Bb     F/A     Fm/Ab     C/G
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

	Gm/Bb     F/A     Fm/Ab      C   CG
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 3:

	As I grow a little more
	And wonder what this all is for
	And the brass ring is slipping away
	I will keep the glasses near
	Maybe shed a quiet tear
	Maybe smile inside as I say

[repeat chorus]

[repeat guitar solo; end cold on G]
