[Intro]
G F C G
[Verse 1]
G I said, "Grandpa what's this picture here? F 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 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
[Chorus]
G If it looks like we were scared to death F C Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other G You should've seen it in color
[Verse 2]
G Aw, and this one here's taken overseas F In the middle of Hell in 1943 C G In the winter time, you can almost see my breath G That was my tail gunner: Ole Johnny McGee F He was a High School teacher from New Orleans C G And he had my back, right through the day we left
[Chorus]
G If it looks like we were scared to death F C Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other G You should've seen it in color G A picture's worth a thousand words F C But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered G You should've seen it in color

[Verse 3]
G This one is my favorite one F This is me and grandma in the summer sun C G All dressed up the day we said our 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 G And just look at that smile, I was so proud
[Bridge]
Em D/F# C That's the story of my life Em D/F# C D Right there in black and white
[Chorus]
G And if it looks like we were scared to death F C Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other G You should've seen it in color G A picture's worth a thousand words F N.C. C But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered G You should've seen it in color
