C F Dm G7 C  Dm / G7
 
             C
When I think back 
           C7                F
on all the crap I learned in high school 
Dm
 It's a wonder 
G7             C  Dm G7
I can think at all 
              C          C7
And though my lack of education 
       F
hasn't hurt me none
Dm              G              C   C7
 I can read the writing on the wall 
 
    F A7 D
Kodachrome 
    D7            Gm          C
You give us those nice bright colors 
                F         A#
You give us the greens of summers 
          G             C               F    A7 D
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah! 
D7      Gm    C
I got a Nikon camera 
                 F    A#
I love to take a photograph 
               G       C           F   F Am Dm G G7
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away 
 
            C               C7
If you took all the girls I knew
           F
when I was single 
    Dm                 G7             C    Dm G7
And brought them all together for one night 
              C
I know they'd never match 
   C7         F
my sweet imagination 
Dm                    G        G7        C    C7
 And everything looks worse in black and white 
 
    F A7 D

You give us the greens of summers 
          G             C               F    A7 D
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
