"Rose Coloured Glasses"
(Scott McCarl)
Intro (piano):
C C G C C G Bb Bb F G /F#
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
Em Gmaj7/D [r.h. keyboard voicing: D-F#-G-B]
I'm an ivory tower boy
C G/B
Never quite put down the toys
Am7 D7 G Gsus2/F# [r.h: D-G-A]
I always made the best of them all
Em Gmaj7/D
I see only sunny skies
C G
With the wool over my eyes
Am7 D7 /C B7
I never seem to find the crack or the fault
Chorus:
C D G A
I see it all through rose-coloured glasses
D G G7/B
And I only see what matters to me
C D B7 E7
I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah
Am7 D7
The world that I chose
C/G G
Is coloured [1: rose ]
C/G G /F#
[2: rose (to solo)]
[3: (to coda)]
Verse 2:
It's a funny sort of haze
All full of dreams of yesterdays
And the dreams are so real you could cry
And you know the grass is green
On the side you've never seen
And the thought is what helps you get by
[repeat chorus]
Guitar solo [2X]:
Gm/Bb F/A Fm/Ab C/G
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Gm/Bb F/A Fm/Ab C CG
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 3:
As I grow a little more
And wonder what this all is for
And the brass ring is slipping away
I will keep the glasses near
Maybe shed a quiet tear
Maybe smile inside as I say
[repeat chorus]
[repeat guitar solo; end cold on G]
