Chords

by The Zombies Composed by Chris White / Rod Argent This is my first chords submission. Was looking all over for this "rare" Zombies tune. It was a single and not included on a regular album as far as I recall. I decided to put my head to it and this is what I've come up with so far. There are a few things I'm not sure about, so maybe others will fill in the areas that are missing. Perhaps those passing chords are wrong? The bass walk-downs, etc.? Regardless, I hope more folks rediscover this overlooked yet beautiful song written by White and Argent. --Jeff Engel VERSE 1
     F        Gm         C7       F
Well I have a picture in color of you

          F           Gm       C7          F
And it's there in my room to remind me of you

        F  A7 ?     D           D7   ?    Gm
So it was with surprise that I saw you today

       Gm7          E                  E7           A
And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?
CHORUS
F                  Bb   Bb/A  Bb/G
For the colors are gone

       Gm              F   Am/E  D
You've become kind of gray

     D7                  Bb  Bb/A  Bb/G
And you're not like the swan

       Gm         F
That I knew yesterday...

F                    Bb   Bb/A  Bb/G
Now the pictures are wrong

       Gm              F   Am/E  D
You've become kind of gray

     D7         Bb  Bb/A  Bb/G
I imagine the swan

          Gm         F
That you were yesterday...
VERSE 2
    F              Gm        C7         F
The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes

        F           Gm        C7         F
And the truth on my face was hard to disguise

       F    A7 ?  D          D7      ?        Gm
So I let you walk by    I turned out of your way

      Gm7               E                   E7            A
And I tried to close my eyes  And let the sadness fall away...
REPEAT CHORUS
