When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school E--5-5----------------5-5---------4-3-2---
F#m B7 E F#m B7
It's a wonder I can think at all.
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none, E--5-5----------------5-5---------4-3-2---
F#m B7 E
I can read the writing on the wall.
A C#7 F#7 Bm E A D
Kodachro-o-ome, They give us those nice, bright colors, they give us the greens of summers,
B7 E A Db F#
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah,
Bm E A D
I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph,
B7 E A C#m F#m B
So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away.
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single E--5-5----------------5-5---------4-3-2---
F#m B7 E F#m B7
And brought them all together for one night,
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination, E--5-5----------------5-5---------4-3-2---
F#m B7 E
And everything looks worse in black and white.
A C#7 F#7 Bm E A D
Kodachro-o-ome, They give us those nice, bright colors, they give us the greens of summers,

Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah,
