John Prine - The Picture Show guitar chord

By John Prine

Song:The Picture Show

(G)A young man from a small town

With a ve(C)ry large imaginat(G)ion

Lay al(C)one in his room with his ra(G)dio on

Looking for another sta(D)tion

When the st(G)atic from the mouthpiece

Gave w(C)ay to the sound be(G)low

James D(C)ean went out to H(G)ollywood

And put his pi(D)cture in a Picture Sh(G)ow.

James De(C)an went out to Ho(G)llywood

And put his pi(D)cture in a Picture Sh(G)ow.

(Chorus)

And It's (G)Oh Daddy get off of your knees

Mam(C)ma why'd you have to g(G)o

Your dar(C)ling Jim is o(G)ut a limb

I put my pi(D)cture in a Picture S(G)how

Whoa Ho! Put my pic(D)ture in a Picture Sh(G)ow

H(G)amburgers Cheesburgers

Wi(C)lbur and Orville Wri(G)ght

Jo(C)hn Garfield in the aft(G)ernoon

Montgomery Clift at ni(D)ght

When the st(G)atic hit the mouthpiece

Gave w(C)ay to the sound be(G)low

James De(C)an went out to Ho(G)llywood

And put his pic(D)ture in a Picture Sh(G)ow.

(Repeat Chorus)

A M(G)occa man in a wigwam sit(C)ting on a Reser(G)vation.

With a big bl(C)ack hole in the be(G)lly of his soul

Waiting on an explan(D)ation

While the wh(G)ite man sits on his fat can

And takes pic(C)tures of the Na(G)vajo

Every ti(C)me he clicks his Ko(G)diac pics

He st(D)eals a little bit of s(G)oul.

Every ti(C)me he clicks his Kod(G)iac pics

He ste(D)als a little bit of s(G)oul.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Ending)

Yie Hi! Put my pi(D)cture in a Picture S(G)how

Let's go!
