Intro: E A F#m E (x2) 

verse 1: 
             E               E7                A          (riff) 
When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school  
F#m           B7    E            F#m B7    
It's a wonder I can think at all  
              E          E7            A          (riff) 
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none 
F#m             B              E   E7 
I can read the writing on the wall  


Chorus 1: 

    A C#7 F# 
Kodachrome  
    F#7            Bm          E 
You give us those nice bright colors  
                A         D 
You give us the greens of summers  
            B             E               A  C#7 F# 
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!  
F#7      Bm    E 
I got a Nikon camera  
                 A    D 
I love to take a photograph  
               B       E           A   C#m   F#m   B  B7 
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away  


verse 2:  

            E               E7             A       (riff) 
If you took all the girls I knew when I was single  
    F#m                 B7             E    F#m B7 
And brought them all together for one night  
              E              E7            A     (riff) 
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination  
F#m                   B        B7        E    E7 
And everything looks worse in black and white  


Chorus 2:  

    A C#7 F#

You give us those nice bright colors

You give us the greens of summers  
            B             E               A  C#7 F# 
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!  
F#7      Bm    E 
I got a Nikon camera  
                 A    D 
I love to take a photograph  
               B       E           A    C#m    F#m  
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
