Kodachrome chords
Paul Simon  1973

Capo II *

D G Em D  Em/A7

             D
When I think back
           D7                G
on all the crap I learned in high school
Em
It's a wonder
A7             D  Em A7
I can think at all
              D          D7
And though my lack of education
       G
hasn't hurt me none
Em             A              D   D7
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
    E7            Am          D
You give us those nice bright colors
                G         C
You give us the greens of summers
          A             D               G    B7 E
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
E7      Am    D
I got a Nikon camera
                 G    C
I love to take a photograph
               A       D           G   G Bm Em A A7
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

            D               D7
If you took all the girls I knew
           G
when I was single
    Em                 A7             D    Em A7
And brought them all together for one night
              D
I know they'd never match
   D7         G
my sweet imagination
Em                   A        A7        D    D7
And everything looks worse in black and white

    G B7 E
Kodachrome
    E7            Am          D
You give us those nice bright colors
                G         C
You give us the greens of summers
          A             D               G    B7 E
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
E7      Am    D
I got a Nikon camera
                 G    C
I love to take a photograph
               A       D           G   G Bm Em
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

            G       Bm          Em
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
            G       Bm          Em
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
