The Picture chords

[C]There are [C/B]pictures on th[Am]e piano
[F]Pictures of the [G]family
[C]Mo[C/B]stly my [Am]kids but there's an old
[F]Picture of [C]you and me
[Em]You were five and I was [F]six [Fadd9]
[Em]In 19[G]52
[C]That [C/B]was forty [Am]years ago
[G]How could it be [C]true?

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

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

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

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