. F F7 Bb
When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
Gm C7 F Gm
It's a wonder I can think at all.
C7 F F7 Bb (is there a riff here?)
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none,
Gm C7 F
I can read the writing on the wall.

Chorus:
. F7 Bb D7 (G7) Cm F
. Kodachrome, They give us those nice bright colors,
. Bb Eb Cm
. They give us the greens of summers,
. C F Bb D G
. Makes you think all the world's a sunny day. Oh yeah,
. Cm F Bb Eb
. I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph,
. Eb C7 F Bb
. So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away.
. F C7 Bb
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
Gm C7 F Gm
And brought them all together for one night,
C7 F F7 Bb
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination,
Gm C7 F
And ev'rything looks worse in black and white.
