The Picture Ukulele tab

	  
C         C/B           Am 
There are pictures on the piano 
F               G 
Pictures of the family 
C C/B     Am 
Mostly my kids but there's an old 
F          C 
Picture of you and me 
Em                      F   Fadd9 
You were five and I was six 
Em   G 
In 1952 
C    C/B       Am 
That was forty years ago 
G               C 
How could it be true? 

C               C/B     Am 
We were sitting outside drawing 
F                    G 
At a table meant for cards 
C                C/B     Am 
And it must have been in autumn 
F                           G 
Falling leaves in the front yard 
Em                      F      Fadd9 
With a shoe box full of crayons 
Em                   G 
Full of colors oh so bright 
C                 C/B     Am 
In a picture in a plastic frame 
G                    C 
A snapshot black and white 

C                C/B   Am 
You were looking at my paper 
F               G 
Watching what I drew 
C     C/B             Am 
It was natural: I was older 
F                         C 
Thirteen months more than you 
Em              F     Fadd9 
A brother and a sister 
Em               G 
A little boy and girl 
C           C/B       Am 
And whoever took that picture 
G                C 
Captured our own world 

C         C/B     Am 
A brother needs a sister 
F                    G 
To watch what he can do 
C          C/B    Am 
To protect and to torture 
F                    C 
To boss around it's true 
Em                 F         Fadd9 
But a brother will defend her 
Em                     G 
For a sister's love is pure 
C           C/B         Am 
Because she thinks he's wonderful 
G                 C 
When he is not so sure 

C              C/B       Am 
In the picture there's a fender 
F          G 
Of our old Chevrolet 
C     C/B       Am 
Or Pontiac, our dad would know 
F               G 
Surely he could say 
Em                  F         Fadd9 
But dad is dead and we grow old 
Em                        G 
It's true that time flies by 
C            C/B       Am 
And in forty years the world has changed 
  G                C 
As well as you and I
