Song : 
E


Intro :
 E A F#m B7 E  F#m   B7
 
             E
When I think back 
           E7                A
on all the crap I learned in high school 
F#m
 It's a wonder 
B7             E  F#m B7
I can think at all 
              E          E7
And though my lack of education 
       A
hasn't hurt me none
F#m             B              E   E7
 I can read the writing on the wall 
 
    A C#7 F#
Kodachrome 
    F#7           Bm          E
You give us those nice bright colors 
                A         D
You give us the greens of summers 
          B             E               A    C#7 F#
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah! 
F#7     Bm    E
I got a Nikon camera 
                 A    D
I love to take a photograph 
               B       E           A   A  C#m F#m  B B7
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away 
 
            E               E7
If you took all the girls I knew
           A
when I was single 
    F#m                B7             E    F#m B7
And brought them all together for one night 
              E
I know they'd never match 
   E7         A
my sweet imagination 
F#m                   B        B7        E    E7
 And everything looks worse in black and white 
 
    A C#7 F#
Kodachrome 
    F#7           Bm          E
You give us those nice bright colors 
                A         D
You give us the greens of summers 
          B             E               A    C#7 F#
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah! 
F#7     Bm    E
I got a Nikon camera

            A       C#m         F#m
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away 
            A       C#m         F#m
