                        "Rose Coloured Glasses"
                             (Scott McCarl)

Intro (piano):

	                                /
	/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

	               /  [r.. keyboard voicing: ---]
	I'm an ivory tower boy
	                        
	Never quite put down the toys
	                              /  [r.: --]
	I always made the best of them all
	              /
	I see only sunny skies
	                      
	With the wool over my eyes
	                          /      
	I never seem to find the crack or the fault

Chorus:

	                                         
	I see it all through rose-coloured glasses
	                                 
	And I only see what matters to me
	                                          
	I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah
	                     
	The world that I chose
	                  
	Is coloured [1: rose   ]
	                   /
		    [2: rose       (to solo)]
	            [3: (to coda)]
Verse 2:

	It's a funny sort of haze
	All full of dreams of yesterdays
	And the dreams are so real you could cry
	And you know the grass is green
	On the side you've never seen
	And the thought is what helps you get by

[repeat chorus]

Guitar solo [2X]:

	/               
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

	/                   CG
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 3:

	As I grow a little more
	And wonder what this all is for
	And the brass ring is slipping away
	I will keep the glasses near
	Maybe shed a quiet tear
	Maybe smile inside as I say

[repeat chorus]

[repeat guitar solo; end cold on G]
