I said, Grandpa what's this picture here   
	F  
It's all black and white and ain't real clear  
	C				G  
Is that you there, he said, yeah I was eleven  
                   G		  
Times were tough back in thirty-five  
	F  
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive  
     C	 			    G  
A cotton farm in the Great Depression  

	  G  
And if it looks like we were scared to death  
	F					C  
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other  
				G  
You should have seen it in color  

G  
This one here was taken overseas  
	F  
In the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three  
	C  
In the winter time you can almost see my breath  
	    G  
That was my tail gunner ole' Johnny McGee  
	    F  
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans  
	 C					        G  
And he had my back right through the day we left  

	   G  
And if it looks like we were scared to death  
	F					C  
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other  
				G  
You should have seen it in color  
    G  
A picture's worth a thousand words   
	  F					      C	  
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered  
			       G  
You should have seen it in color  


G  
This one is my favorite one  
	F  
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  
         F  
That rose was red and her eyes were blue  
	   C				G  
And just look at that smile I was so proud  

Em	      D		C  
That's the story of my life  
Em	D		    C	D	  
Right there in black and white  

	   G  
And if it looks like we were scared to death  
	F					C  
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other  
				G  
You should have seen it in color  
    G  
A picture's worth a thousand words   
	  F					        C	  
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered  
			       G		FC  
You should have seen it in color  
				G  
You should have seen it in color
