TITLE: Kodachrome
Lyrics and Chords


When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

/ G G7 C - / Am D7 G AmD7 / 1st / Am D7 GG7 /

{Refrain}
Kodachrome, it gives us those nice bright colors
Gives us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph
So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

/ CE A7 Dm G / C F / Dm G CE A /
     / Dm G C F / Dm G C - (D7) /

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And brought 'em all together for one night
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

{Refrain}

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away (3X)

/ C G Am - / :

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (2X)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

/ C / / Am - / :

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
And leave your boy so far from home
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mmmmmm
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
