In Color
Jamey Johnson
This is my very first tab. Please let me know if there are any mistakes.
I am sick and tired of people writing tabs that have the "F" chord in them
for this song. THIS TAB IS THE CLOSEST TO BEING CORRECT ON THE
INTERNET!! I even wrote up the intro. It's not 100% correct but it's
damn close for being transposed from multiple guitars.
Capo 3

*Verse*
G
I said Grandpa what's this picture here
Cadd9
It's all black and white and it ain't real clear
C G
Is that you there He said yeah, I was 11
G
And times were tough back in '35
Cadd9
That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
C G
A cotton farm in the Great Depression
*Chorus*
G
If it looks like we were scared to death
C C/G
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other
G
You should've seen it in color
*Verse*
G
Ooh and this one was taken overseas
Cadd9 C
In the middle of hell in 1933 in the winter time
G
You can almost see my breath
That was my tailgunner ol' Johnny Mcgee
Cadd9 C
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans and he had my back
G
Right through the day we left
*Chorus*
G
If it looks like we were scared to death
C C/G
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other
G
You should've seen it in color
A picture's worth a thousand words
C C/G
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
G C C/G G
You should've seen it in color
*Verse*
G
This one is my favorite one
Cadd9
This is me and Grandma in the summer sun
C G
All dressed up the day we said our vows
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
Cadd9
That rose was red and her eyes were blue
C G Em
Just look at that smile, I was so proud
*Bridge*
Em Cadd9(2) Em
That's the story of my life
Em Cadd9
Right there in black and white
*Chorus*
G
And if it looks like we were scared to death
C C/G
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other
G
You should've seen it in color
G
A picture's worth a thousand words
C--------------pause in strumming----------- C/G
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
G
You should've seen it in color
(Guitar solo)
G
Yeah a picture's a worth a thousand words
C C/G
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
G
You should've seen it in color
(Strum out to the chorus chord progression and strum a G chord to end)
