Song:The Picture Show
G A young man from a small town C G With a very large imagination C G Lay alone in his room with his radio on D Looking for another station G When the static from the mouthpiece C G Gave way to the sound below C G James Dean went out to Hollywood D G And put his picture in a Picture Show. C G James Dean went out to Hollywood D G And put his picture in a Picture Show.
Chorus:
G And It's Oh Daddy get off of your knees C G Mamma why'd you have to go C G Your darling Jim is out on a limb D G I put my picture in a Picture Show D G Whoa Ho! Put my picture in a Picture Show G Hamburgers Cheeseburgers C G Wilbur and Orville Wright C G John Garfield in the afternoon D Montgomery Clift at night G When the static hit the mouthpiece C G Gave way to the sound below C G James Dean went out to Hollywood D G And put his picture in a Picture Show.
Chorus:
G And It's Oh Daddy get off of your knees C G Mamma why'd you have to go C G Your darling Jim is out on a limb D G I put my picture in a Picture Show D G Whoa Ho! Put my picture in a Picture Show

G C G A Mocca man in a wigwam sitting on a Reservation. C G With a big black hole in the belly of his soul D Waiting on an explanation G While the white man sits on his fat can C G And takes pictures of the Navajo C G Every time he clicks his Kodak pics D G He steals a little bit of soul. C G Every time he clicks his Kodak pics D G He steals a little bit of soul.
Chorus:
G And It's Oh Daddy get off of your knees C G Mamma why'd you have to go C G Your darling Jim is out on a limb D G I put my picture in a Picture Show D G Whoa Ho! Put my picture in a Picture Show
