D2 (whole time)

I see you've found a box of my 
things -
Infantries, tanks and smoldering 
airplane wings.
These old pictures are cool. Tell me
 some stories
Was it like the old war movies?
Sit down son. Let me fill you in

(Chorus)
D                       G        
Where to begin? Let's start with 
                      D
the end
This black and white photo don't 
      A                            
capture the skin
       D

                               G   
From the flash of a gun to a 
                                   D
soldier who's done
                            A (let 
it ring)
Trust me grandson

The war was in color

D2 (whole time, with fill in 
background)

From shipyard to sea, From factory 
to sky
From rivet to rifle, from boot camp 
to battle cry
I wore the mask up high on a 
daylight run
That held my face in its clammy hand
Crawled over coconut logs and 
corpses in the coral sand

(Chorus same as above)

Continúa después del anuncio
Where to begin? Let¹s start with the
 end
This black and white photo don't 
capture the skin
From the shock of a shell or the 
memory of smell
If red is for Hell
The war was in color

D2(whole time, with fill in 
background)

I held the canvas bag over the 
railing
The dead released, with the ship 
still sailing,
Out of our hands and into the 
swallowing sea
I felt the crossfire stitching up 
soldiers
Into a blanket of dead, and as the 
night grows colder
In a window back home, a Blue Star 
is traded for Gold.

(Chorus same as above)

Where to begin? Let's start with the
 end
This black and white photo don't 
capture the skin
When metal is churned. And bodies 
are burned
Victory earned
The War was in color

(Let thes notes ring)
                        G          
Now I lay in my grave at age 21
          D

Long before you were born
    A

                           D
Before I bore a son
                            G
What good did it do?
                               D
Well hopefully for you
                             A
A world without war
                         A
A life full of color

D                        G
Where to begin? Let's start with the
 end
D                              A
This black and white photo never 
captured my skin
D                    G
Once it was torn from an enemy thorn
D
Straight through the core
A
The war was in color
D                       G
Where to begin? Let's start with the
 end
D                               A
This black and white photo never 
captured my skin
D
From the flash of a gun
G
To a soldier who's done
D
Trust me grandson
A
The war was in color
 D
Trust me granson
A
The war was in color

Trust me grandson
