[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Bm G My jumper was navy, I thought it was black A D Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Chorus]
Bm Someone became green with envy G Left the blues behind A D 'Cause I was colourblind
[Verse 2]
Bm Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm tryna get sunburnt G A D Everything I thought about peels into insignificance Bm G I'm just tryna get brown 'cause I'm browned off A D With this situation
[Refrain]
G There was once black-and-white movies A Bm That became technicolour G A There were sepia photographs in my album, in my scrapbook D A I look upon with wonder
[Chorus]
Bm Someone became green with envy G I started to love out loud A D Said, "You must be joking" Bm I left the blues behind G A D When I became just colourblind
[Instrumental Break]
Bm G A D Bm G A D
[Refrain]
G There was once black-and-white movies A Bm That became technicolour G There were sepia photographs in my scrapbook A D That I looked upon with wonder A Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Bm G Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm tryna get sunburnt A D Everything I thought peels into insignificance Bm I'm just tryna get brown, I'm a bit red G A D But I feel like I'm just browned off
[Verse 4]
Bm My jumper was navy, I thought it was black G A D When I turned a whiter shade of pale Bm G You saw red when someone was green with envy A D And I became colourblind
[Chorus]
Bm I thought I left the blues behind G A D When I became colourblind
[Outro]
Bm G A D Now I, I realise I was colourblind Bm Now I realised, I got wise, baby G A D I must've been colourblind Bm But I realise, I got wise G A D To you, I was colourblind
