Shades Of Grey

Monkees

 CFG7
 When the world and I were young just yesterday.    
 CFGG7
 Life was such a simple game a child could play.
 CG
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
 AmEm
 Easy then to tell weak from strong,
 FCAm
 When a man should stand and fight 
 DmEmF6G
 Or just go along.  

 FGCAm
But today there is no day or night
 DmG7C
Today there is no dark or light
 FGAmGF
Today there is no black or white
 CFG7
 Only shades of gray.

 CFG7
 I remember when the answers seemed so clear, 
 CFGG7
 We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear   
 CG
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
 AmEm
 Selling out from compromise
 FCAm
 Who to love and who to hate
 DmEmF6G
The foolish from the wise.

 FGCAm
But today there is no day or night
 DmG7C
Today there is no dark or light
 FGAmGF
Today there is no black or white
 CFG7
 Only shades of gray.

Instrumental bridge needed, here it is:

C -F-G-G7 C-F-G-

 CG
It was easy then to know what was fair
 AmEm
 When to keep and when to share
 FCAm
 How much to protect your heart
 DmEmF6G
 And how much to care.

 FGCAm
But today there is no day or night
 DmG7C
Today there is no dark or light
 FGAmGF
Today there is no black or white
 CFG7
 Only shades of gray. 

One of the most beautiful tunes from The Monkees ever...
