Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I said grand[C]pa whats this picture here
Its all bl[Bb]ack and white it aint real clear
Is tha[F]t you there?
He said yeah i was [C]11
[C]Times were tough back in '35
Thats[Bb] me and uncle Joe just tryin to survive
A co[F]tton farm in the great dep[C]ression.
Chorus:
If it l[C]ooks like we were scared to death
Like a c[Bb]ouple of kids just trying to save each ot[F]her
You should've seen it in co[C]lor.
Verse 2:
[C]Oh and this one here was taken over seas
In the mi[Bb]ddle of hell in 1943
In the winter time you can almost see my b[F]reath
[C]That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee
[Bb]He was a high school teacher from new Orleans
And he had my[F] back right through the day we left.[C]
Chorus:
If it l[C]ooks like we were scared to death
Like a c[Bb]ouple of kids just trying to save each ot[F]her
You should've seen it in co[C]lor.
A pic[C]ture's worth a thousand words
But you can[Bb]t see what those
shades of gray keep covered[F]
You should've seen it in[C] color
Verse 3:
[C]This one is my favorite one.
This is me [Bb]and grandma in the summer sun
All d[F]ressed up the day we said our vows.[C]
You ca[C]n't tell it here but it was hot that June
[Bb]That rose was red and her eyes were blue
And just look at that smile, I w[F]as so proud.[C]
Bridge:
[Am] Thats the [G]story of m[D]y life
[Am] Right t[G]here in black a[D]nd white
Chorus:
If it l[C]ooks like we were scared to death
Like a c[Bb]ouple of kids just trying to save each ot[F]her
You should've seen it in co[C]lor.
A pic[C]ture's worth a thousand words
But you can[Bb]t see what those
shades of gray keep covered[F]
You should've seen it in[C] color
