[Intro]
| G | Fsus2 |
[Verse 1]
C
G G
I said Grandpa what's this picture here
Fsus2
It's all black and white,
and it ain't real clear
C
Is that you there, he said yeah,
G
I was eleven
G
And times were tough, back in thirtyfive
Fsus2
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
C G
At cotton farm, in the Great Depression
G
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Fsus2 C
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
G
You should've seen it in color
[Verse 2]
G
On this one here, it's taken overseas
Fsus2
In the middle of hell,
in nineteen fortythree
C
In the winter time,
G
you can almost see my breath
G
That was my tail gunner ole' Johnny McGee
Fsus2
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
C
And he had my back,
G
right through the day we left
[Chorus]
G
If it looks like we were scared to death
Fsus2 C
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
G
You should've seen it in color
G
A picture's worth a thousand words
Fsus2 C
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
G
You should've seen it in color
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G
This one is my favorite one
Fsus2
This is me and grandma in the,
summer sun
C G
All dressed up, the day we said our vows
G
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
Fsus2
And that rose was red and her eyes were blue
C
And just look at that smile,
G
I was so proud
[Bridge]
Em D C
That's the story of my life
Em D C
Right there in black and white
[Chorus]
G
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Fsus2 C
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
G
You should've seen it in color
G
Yeah a picture's worth a thousand words
Fsus2 C
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
G
You should've seen it in color
Fsus2 C G
(Should've seen it in color)
Yeah a picture's worth a thousand words
Fsus2 C
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
G
You should've seen it in color
