I said, "Grandpa, what's this picture here?
      Am                      F
It's all black and white, it ain't real clear.
         C                   G
Is that you there?" He said, "Yeah, I was eleven.
      Am                  F
Times were tough back in '35, that's me and Uncle Joe
         C              G
Just tryin' to survive a cotton farm
           Am                F
In the Great Depression."

C                  G
If it was a little more colorful, oh, oh
Am                 F
You'd see it in color. 

C                G
Oh, but it ain't so easy
Am              F
To see it in color.

C                G
You look at the world through the lens of your heart,
Am              F
And it all looks different when you see it in color.
