Colourblind chords by Van Morrison

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: D

🎸 Intro:

D


🎸 Verse 1:
              Bm                           G
My jumper was navy, I thought it was black
         A               D
Turned a whiter shade of pale


🎸 Chorus:
                              Bm
Someone became green with envy
                     G
Left the blues behind
         A              D
'Cause I was colourblind

🎸 Verse 2:
                            Bm
Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm tryna get sunburnt
G            A                     D
Everything I thought about peels into insignificance
                          Bm                    G
I'm just tryna get brown 'cause I'm browned off
       A       D
With this situation


🎸 Refrain:
                         G
There was once black-and-white movies
       A               Bm
That became technicolour
                             G                  A
There were sepia photographs in my album, in my scrapbook
                 D      A
I look upon with wonder


🎸 Chorus:
                            Bm
Someone became green with envy
                  G
I started to love out loud
A                  D
Said, "You must be joking"
                   Bm
I left the blues behind
         G    A          D
When I became just colourblind


Instrumental 🎸 Break:
Bm  G A D     Bm  G A D


🎸 Refrain:
                         G
There was once black-and-white movies
       A          Bm
That became technicolour
                            G
There were sepia photographs in my scrapbook
A                       D
That I looked upon with wonder
          A
Yeah, yeah


🎸 Verse 3:
                           Bm                     G
Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm tryna get sunburnt
     A               D
Everything I thought peels into insignificance
                   Bm
I'm just tryna get brown, I'm a bit red
G               A        D
But I feel like I'm just browned off


🎸 Verse 4:
                Bm
My jumper was navy, I thought it was black
G               A                   D
When I turned a whiter shade of pale
         Bm                                 G
You saw red when someone was green with envy
      A            D
And I became colourblind


🎸 Chorus:
            Bm
I thought I left the blues behind
G        A          D
When I became colourblind


🎸 Outro:
    Bm       G   A       D
Now I, I realise I was colourblind
                Bm
Now I realised, I got wise, baby
G         A          D
I must've been colourblind
         Bm
But I realise, I got wise
G       A           D
To you, I was colourblind
