VERSE 1:
                                            (RIFF)
When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
                                    
     It's a wonder I can think at all
                                   (RIFF)
And though my lack of edu - cation hasn't hurt me none
                                     
     I can read the writing on the wall


CHORUS:
                                            
Kodachrome         They give us those nice bright colours
                          
They give us the greens of summers
                                       
Makes you think all the worlds a sunny day oh yeah
                                        
I got a Nikon camera. I love to take a photograph
              A7      D7           G / / / | Bm / / / | Em / / / | A7 /
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away


VERSE 2:
                                      (RIFF)
If you took all the girls I  knew when I was single
                                             
     And brought them all together for one night.
                                  (RIFF)
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
                                              
     And everything looks worse in black and white


CHORUS:
                                            
Kodachrome         They give us those nice bright colours
                          
They give us the greens of summers
                                       
Makes you think all the worlds a sunny day oh yeah
                                        
I got a Nikon camera. I love to take a photograph
              A7      D7           G / / / | Bm / / / | Em / / / | / / / / |
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away


OUT CHORUS: (3 times)
