Intro isn't 100% (I'm new at tabs) but it gets the basic sound.
(Verse 1)
I said grandGpa whats this picture here
Its all blFack and white and it aint real clear
Is thaCt you there?
He said yeah i was G11
GTimes were tough back in '35
ThatsF me and uncle Joe just tryin to survive
A coCtton farm in the great depGression.
(Chorus)
If it lGooks like we were scared to death
Like a cFouple of kids just trying to save each oCther
You should've seen it in coGlor.
(Verse 2)
Ohh and this one here was taken over seas
In the middle of hell in 1943
In the winter time you can almost see my breath
That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
And he had my back right through the day we left.
(Chorus)
If it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You shoulda seen it in color.
A picture's worth a thousand words
But you cant see what those
shades of gray keep covered
You shoulda seen it in color
(Verse 3)
This one is my favorite one.
This is me and grandma in the summer sun
All dressed up the day we said our vows.
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
That rose was red and her eyes were blue
And just look at that smile I was so proud.
(Bridge)
Em Thats the Dstory of mCy life
Em Right tDhere in black aCnd whitDe
(Chorus)
If it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should've seen it in color.
A picture's worth a thousand words
But you cant see what those
shades of gray keep covered
You should've seen it in color
