[A]
[F#m] [B]
[C#] [E] [F#m] When [E] I think back on all the crap I learned in [A] high school,
[F#] it's a wonder [B] I can think [E] at all.
[F#m] [B] And when my [E] life with education hasn't [A] hurt me [E] none, [A]
[F#] I can read [B] the writing on [E] the wall.
[A] Oh, the [C#] chrome,
[F#] it gives [Bm] those nice bright [E] colors, it gives us [A] the greens [D] of summers,
it makes you [B] think of all [E] the world on a sunny [A] [C#] day, oh [F#] yeah.
I got an [B] icon [E] camera, I love to take [A] photographs,
[D] so mama don't [B] take [E] my chrome away.
[A]
[C#m] [F#m]
[B] If you [E] took all the girls I knew when I was single,
[A] [F#] and brought them all [B] together for [E] one night,
[F#m] I know [E] they'd never match my sweet [A] imagination,
[F#m] and everything [B] looks worse in black [E] and white.
[A] Oh, the [C#] chrome, [F#] it gives [Bm] those nice [E] bright colors, it gives us [A] the greens [D] of summers,
it makes you [B] think of all [E] the world on a sunny [A] day, [C#] oh [F#] yeah.
[Bm] I got an icon [E] camera, I love to take [A] [D] photographs,
so mama don't [B] take [E] my chrome [A] away.
[C#m]
[F#m] Mama [A] don't take [C#m] my chrome
[F#m] away.
Mama [A] don't take [C#m] my chrome [F#m] away.
Mama [A] don't take [C#m] my chrome
[F#m] away.
[A] Mama don't take my chrome, [C#m] mama don't take my [C#] chrome, [F#m] mama don't take my chrome away.
[A] Mama don't take my chrome, [C#m] leave your boss a fuck home, [F#m] mama don't take my chrome away.

To learn Paul Simon - Kodachrome chords, focus on the sequence of these chords: A, F#m, A, C#m, D, B, E and A. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 68 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 137. Configure the capo to your vocal range and chord preference, remembering the key of A Major.
