COLOR ME GONE KEY=G, ROCK ELECTRIC SOLO INTRO
BAND IN ON D HOLD ‘TIL VERSE
D Tumbleweeds, pump jacks, wind mills, train tracks
C I ain't never comin' back G baby
D Highways, byways, gotta' do it my way
C Only thing that's ever gonna' G save me
Gotta' Em whole lotta' livin' D still left to do
And Em I don't believe I can D do it with you
We put our G best foot forward but we C kept fallin' down
I G think you'll feel better when I'm C not around
Not a- D - round
Chorus
You G painted me a picture of a C life so grand
G Little white house on our C own piece of land
You D Painted in the kids and the dog and the car
You C Painted in the sun and the moon and the stars (+4)
But You G Never stopped to tell me how I'd C feel so alone
You G Never mentioned nothin' 'bout a C combat zone
So When you Am get around to paintin' D me
Color me C gone, just color me G gone 3rd TIME END
D Phoenix, Abilene and every place I've never seen
I'm C gonna' see 'em all now G baby
D Gulf Coast, ranch land, maybe join a country band
And C sing about the way that you be – G -trayed me
I'm gonna Em live my life to the D fullest I can
I Em Don't have to worry 'bout a D battle plan
I’ll Put my G best foot forward and if I C ever fall down
I'll G pick myself up and get on C solid ground
Solid D ground
