Kodachrome Lyrics
By Simon And Garfunkel

Below you'll find the Kodachrome lyrics and my partial acoustic demo.

The song was released in 1973 as a single and became a #2 hit in the US. The song wasn't released in the UK because it Kodachrome was a trademark from Kodak and the UK stations wouldnt play the song because of the trademark issue. The song was from the "There Goes Rhymin Simon" album.

--- Start Of Lyrics For Kodachrome ---

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
And though my lack of edu---cation hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome ... they give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera ... I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome ... they give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera ... I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome

Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
