I said, "Grandpa what's this
picture Here?
        F
It's all black and white and it
Ain't real clear
    C
Is that you there? He said yeah, I
    G
Was 11
G
Times were tough back in '35
      F
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin'
To survive
  C
A cotton farm
              G
And a great depression

     G
If it looks like we were scared
to Death
      F
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to
          C
Save each other
                          G
You should've seen it in color

       G
Aw, and this one here's taken
Overseas
       F
In the middle of Hell in 1943
      C
In the winter time, you can almost
      G
See my breath
        G
That was my tail gunner: Ole
Johnny Mcgee
        F
He was a High School teacher from
New Orleans
      C
And he had my back, right through
          G
The day we left

     G
If it looks like we were scared to
Death
      F
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to
          C
Save each other
                          G
You should've seen it in color
  G
A picture's worth a thousand words
       F
But you can't see what those shades
             C
Of gray keep covered
                          G
You should've seen it in color

This one is my favorite one
       F
This is me and grandma in the summer
Sun
C
All dressed up the day we said our
G
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
And just look at that smile, I was
  G
So proud

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

         G
And if it looks like we were scared
To death
      F
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to
          C
Save each other
                          G
