Intro | C | % | Am | % | | C | % | Am | % | [Verso 1] C I could step out of that photograph, behind my younger self Am A picture's worth a thousand words. Should be mine to tell F C If my memory serves me right, on the back it says 1912 C The BX stage went by, and a six horse team Am And a freighter leaned forward to encourage a bit more speed F But the signs were bad for those who cared to read G Like the push for rail, things were picking up steam | Am G C | [Refrão] Am Hills touched the sky F And a summer it was blue C When the sun went down G It left a golden hue Am Blood was red F And the trees of pearly green C And our faces were dirty G They were hardly ever clean E Am C You could say I paint it with the colors that I lack F G C Our world was never black and white [Verso 2] C That spring the hills were brown, Winter slow to leave Am It didn't discern or distinguish things it would freeze F It used to be bunch grass up to our knees G Now on the open ground is hungry and lean | Am G C | [Refrão] Am Hills touched the sky F And a summer it was blue C When the sun went down G It left a golden hue Am Blood was red F And the trees of pearly green C And our faces were dirty G They were hardly ever clean E Am C You could say I paint it with the colors that I lack F G C Our world was never black and white {Instrumental} | C | Am | F | C | [Verso 3] C We got back up on the road, thinking our lunch had been spare Am We came upon a wreck. Gunshots still in the air F C By all accounts the motorcar came out of nowhere C The horses and the freighter were history on the page Am And we thought about our future while a man walked from the stage F With a camera box and black key. He told us to gather round G N.C. Real close and look grey. So we did | Am G C | [Refrão] Am Hills touched the sky F And a summer it was blue C When the sun went down G It left a golden hue Am Blood was red F And the trees of pearly green C And our faces were dirty G They were hardly ever clean E Am C You could say I paint it with the colors that I lack F G C Our world was never black and white Outro | C | % | Am | % | C |
