- 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'
- _
- "It's never too late to have a happy childhood" (Tom Robbins)
