Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
D D Bm Bm
[Verse 1]
D A
We are like children, we're painted on canvases.
Bm
Picking up shades, as we go.
D
We start off with gesso.
D
Brushed on, by people we know.
Bm7
Watch your technique, as you go.
[Chorus]
Dm7 D7 Gmaj7
Step back and admire my view.
Gm Em7
Can I use the colors I choose?
D7 Gmaj7
Do I have some say, what you use?
C C7
Can I get some greens and some blues?
[Verse 2]
D
We're made by the pigment of paint, that is put upon.
Bm
Our stories, are told by our hues.
D
Like Motley and Bearden;
D
These masters, of peace and light.
Bm
Layers of color and time.
[Chorus]
D7 Gmaj7
Step back and admire my view.
Em
Can I use the colors I choose?
Gmaj7
Do I have some say, what you use?
Bm A# D
Can I get some green with my blue?
[Outro]
D
We're just like children, we're painted on canvases.
We are like children
We're painted on canvases
Picking up shades as we go
We start off with gesso
Brushed on by people we know
Watch your technique as you go
Step back and admire my view
Can you use the colors I choose?
Do I have some say what you use?
Can I get some greens and some blues?
We're made by the pigment of paint that is put upon
Our stories are told by our hues
Like Motley or Bearden
These masters of peace and life
Layers of colors and time
Step back and admire my view
Can I use the colors I choose?
Don't I have some say what you use?
Can't get some greens with my blues?
