When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, 
[]        []            []   [] 
it's a wonder I can think at all. 
[]           []     []             []         
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none, 
[]          []            [] 
I can read the writing on the wall. 
  
CHORUS:   
[] [] [] []                    []         [] 
Kodachro..o....ome, they give us those nice bright colors, 
                 []         []  
they give us the greens of summer, 
                []     []            []  [] [] 
makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh,  yeah. 
       []   []                      []  [] 
I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph, 
                []     []        [] 
so momma, don't take my Kodachrome away.....[C#m7] [F#m] [B] 
  
#2.   
[]         []             []            [] 
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single, 
   []               []            []   [] 
and brought them all together for one night, 
  []         []           []         [] 
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination, 
    []            []                [] 
and everything looks worse in black and white. 
  
CHORUS:      

ADD: []   [] (x2)
  
OUTRO:   
   []                 []     [] 
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away(x3.)
[]                  []    []         [] 
Mama don't take my Kodachrome..leave my Kodachrome alone,
[]                []      []
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away..(Fade)
