*Verse*

G
I said Grandpa what's this picture here

Cadd9
It's all black and white and it ain't real clear

C                                  G
Is that you there He said yeah, I was 11

G
And times were tough back in '35

Cadd9
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive

C                            G
A cotton farm in the Great Depression

*Chorus*

G
If it looks like we were scared to death

C                                        C/G
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other

G
You should've seen it in color

*Verse*

G
Ooh and this one was taken overseas

Cadd9                         C
In the middle of hell in 1933 in the winter time

G
You can almost see my breath

That was my tailgunner ol' Johnny Mcgee

Cadd9                                       C
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans and he had my back

G
Right through the day we left

*Chorus*

G
If it looks like we were scared to death

C                                        C/G
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other

G
You should've seen it in color

A picture's worth a thousand words

C                                           C/G
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered

G  C  C/G  G
You should've seen it in color

*Verse*

G
This one is my favorite one

Cadd9
This is me and Grandma in the summer sun

C                                     G
All dressed up the day we said our vows

You can't tell it here but it was hot that June

     Cadd9
That rose was red and her eyes were blue

C                                G   Em
Just look at that smile, I was so proud

*Bridge*

Em                     Cadd9(2)  Em

Right there in black and white



*Chorus*

G
And if it looks like we were scared to death

C                                        C/G
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other

You should've seen it in color
