This trasncription is not entirely complete and may need editing!

I can't really take credit for this song cause Lara Hughes typed it up

and mailed it to me,but she said it was OK to post it.

_

I think part of the song is missing (the ending?) and I think some of the

chord changes may be slightly off, but don't know the song well enough

to fix it or even be sure it needs fixing.

_

If you can: PLEASE fix it and send it back to me and/or repost!

(I mean really minor stuff, like the ending "Momma don't take..."

or if the chord is typed over the wrong syllable!)

Stupidity Induced Music Page format:_

. KODACHROME By Paul Simon

. F F7 Bb

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school

Gm C7 F Gm

It's a wonder I can think at all.

C7 F F7 Bb (is there a riff here?)

And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none,

Gm C7 F

I can read the writing on the wall.

_

Chorus:

. F7 Bb D7 (G7) Cm F

. Kodachrome, They give us those nice bright colors,

. Bb Eb [Cm]

. They give us the greens of summers,

. C F Bb D G

. Makes you think all the world's a sunny day. Oh yeah,

. Cm F Bb Eb

. I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph,

. Eb C7 F Bb

. So momma, don't take my Kodachrome away.

. F C7 Bb

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single

Gm C7 F Gm

And brought them all together for one night,

C7 F F7 Bb

I know they'd never match my sweet imagination,

Gm C7 F

And ev'rything looks worse in black and white.

_

(Chorus)

_________Please edit this song if you can and send it to me! Thanks, Sennet.

Since I have many songs typed but have only got a few back so far I am

going to try including a req list with every song I post.

_

My most wanted list: (Hopefully lyrics + chords but tab or chordpro)

is better than nothing.

_

Cat Stevens: (if you even send lyrics I'll add chords and send back) Tuesday's dead, Two Fine People, Changes IV, Don't Be Shy, I Never Wanted,

If you want to sing out, Ready, Wigwam, others.

_

Cheap Trick: California Man, Dream Police, Surrender, I Want You to Want Me,

C,S & N: Our house, Love the one you're with, Marrakesh Express

Can't buy me love, I want to hold your hand

Steve Miller. (any hits)

Eagles: Best of my love

The River (The boss)

old easy Bryan Adams

Billy Joel: Just The Way You Are, The Longest Time, Always a Woman, many others

old Huey Lewis (esp. "Do you believe in love")

J Geils Centerfold

Sammy Hagar-Your Love is Driving Me Crazy

Pretenders from "Learning to crawl"

Eddie Money Two Tickets to Paradise, other hits.

Also I would like ASCII versions of songs that have been posted in Chordpro.

_

I intend to keep posting songs as I get them typed. I have tons of books and

will take requests if you send me a song that I want in a format I can use

Incidentally, a while back I already typed a bunch in a weird format that I

would standardize for you (it's a chore) if you need them. However, I don't

really have the time to reformat them unless you are willing to fill one of

my requests. I'll send any/all of what I have to you if you'll send me and of

the above songs in an easy to play format.

Some of the songs I could reformat:

. Billy Joel It's Still Rock and Roll to me

. Billy Joel She's Got a Way

. Cat Stevens Wild World (and others)

. Cindi Lauper Time after time

. Elton John Crocodile Rock

. Paul Davis '65 Love Affair

. Jim Croce I got a name in D

I believe I've already posted American Pie, Can't keep it in, My Life,

How Can I Tell You,and Baby I love your way, (all in SIMP)

I still have those and others if you missed the posts.

Also, I have a couple songs that I changed a lot after they were posted on

the net (i.e. chords put with every line or lyrics corrected)

I can post these if there is an interest:

We can work it out in D (diff lyrics)

But I might Die Tonight (not in chordpro)

Moonshadow

Leader of the band

Lookin' out my backdoor

Down on the corner

Proud Mary

Old Time R&R in E

Twist and Shout in D (diff key?)

Let it be

Pink Houses

(Unless the song is _really_ easy these songs are SIMP:

chords with every line, printable on 1 page, chord charts.

This makes it easy for beginners to practice.

(many songs I entered also have easier chord substitutions.)

Calling Bill Clinton a tax-and-spend "Liberal" is almost as funny as

the "environmental" president asking for "trust'
