Lyrics

(B7)When I think back on all the crap (E7)I learned in high school,

(F#m)it's a wonder (B)I can think at (E)all.

(B)And my lack of education hasn't hurt me none.

(F#m)I can read the writing on the wall.

(E7)(A)Kodachrome, (C#)(F#)it gives us those nice bright colors,

it gives us the greens of summers,

makes you think all the world's (E)a (E7)sunny (A)day,

(C#)oh yeah.

I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a (A)photograph.

(D)So mama don't take my (E7)Kodachrome away.

(B)If you took all the girls I (E7)knew when I was single

(F#m)and brought 'em all together for one night

(B)I know they'd never match my (E7)sweet imagination.

(F#m)And ev'rything looks worse in black and (E)white.

(E7)(A)Kodachrome, (C#)(F#)it gives us those nice bright colors,

it gives us the greens of summers,

makes you think all the world's (E)a (E7)sunny (A)day,

(C#)oh yeah.

(F#)I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a (A)photograph.

So mama don't take my (E7)Kodachrome away.

(F#m)Mama don't (A)take my (C#m)Kodachrome away.

Mama don't (A)take my (C#m)Kodachrome away.

Mama don't

(A)Mama don't take my Kodachrome (C#m)mama don't take my Kodachrome,

(F#m)mama don't take my Kodachrome away.

(A)Mama don't take my Kodachrome.

(C#m)Leave your boy so far from home.

(F#m)Mama don't take my Kodachrome away.

(A)Mama don't take my Kodachrome.

(C#m)Leave your boy so far from home.

(F#m)Mama don't take my Kodachrome away.
