Favorite Colour Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Nowadays folk music programs present
songs and performances
Of practically every range of color
in the rainbow
And one of the predominant
movements now
Is towards the self- written song, a person
who sings his own songs
Some of the people who write them
come from great big cities
The tremendous metropolises,
like Saskatoon
And that's whence comest the next young
lady, who'll sing her own song

[Verse 2]
Here's Joan Anderson
[G]I met a child a year ago
Whose eyes would never see
She asked me with a timid smile

[Verse 3]
"What color is a tree?"
[Am][G]
"In summertime a tree is green
In autumn gold and red
[Am]In winte[G]r they are frosted
white
When all their leaves [C]are shed"[G]

[Verse 4]
"I know the sky [G]is blue,"
she said
"And silver is [Am]the sand
[G]And apples are the brightest red
What color [C]is [G]a man?"[Am][G]

[Verse 5]
"Man is many [G]colors, child
Some are yellow, some are [Am]brown
And [G]some are black as sightlessness

[Verse 6]
Some white as eiderdown"
[G][Am][G]
She took her crayons from a box
And placed them in [Am]my glove
[G]And said, "By mixing all of these
Comes my favorite [Am]color, [C]lov[G]e"[C]
[G]
