                           Bb          
I said Grandpa what's this picture here
         Ab                                     
It's all black and white and it ain't real clear
Eb                   Eb              Bb     Bb
Is that you there he said Yeah I was eleven ■ 
    Bb                                  
And times were tough back in 'thirtyfive
Ab                                           Eb         
That's me and uncle Joe just tryna survive a cotton farm
           Bb        
In a great depression


[Chorus]
      Bb                                
If it looks like we were scared to death
       Ab                                  Eb   
Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other
                         Eb    Bb
You should've seen it in color ■ 


[Verse]
       Bb                            
Oh and this one here's taken overseas
       Ab                Eb                                    
In the middle of hell in nineteen fortythree in the winter time
                   Bb        Fsus4
You can almost see my breath ■    
         Bb                             
That was my tail gunner ol' Johnny Magee
         Ab                           Eb     
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
                                         Bb     
And he had my back right through the day we left


[Chorus]
      Bb                                
If it looks like we were scared to death
       Ab                                  Eb   
Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other
                         Bb   
You should've seen it in color
  Bb                              
A picture's worth a thousand words
        Ab                                       Eb     
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
                         Bb    Ab Eb
You should've seen it in color ■  ■

[Verse]
Bb                            
■  This one is my favorite one
        Ab                              
This is me and Grandma in the summer sun
Eb                             Bb      
All dressed up the day we said our vows
Cm7       Bb                                   
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
         Ab                                 
And that rose was red and her eyes were blue
         Eb                       Bb      
And just look at that smile I was so proud
Gm7            F           Eb  
■   That's the story of my life


[Chorus]
Gm7 F                        Eb    F
■   Right there in black and white ■
          Bb                                
And if it looks like we were scared to death
       Ab                                  Eb   
Like a couple of kids just tryna save each other
                         Bb    Gm7
You should've seen it in color ■  
       Bb                              
Yeah a picture's worth a thousand words
        Ab                             Eb               
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
                         Bb    Ab
You should've seen it in color ■ 
Eb      Bb                                
■  Yeah a picture's worth a thousand words
        Ab                                       Eb     
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
                         Bb   
You should've seen it in color
