These are Black And White Television chords by Ian Anderson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
Am G/B C F x2
Asus2 F x2
[Verse 1]
Asus2
I looked in the mirror
F
then saw my face in a dream
Em
With eyes sharp as diamonds,
C
blessed with clear vision
G
Things were not as they seemed
F
Black and white television
Em
stared back from
Dsus4 D
the wall
Asus2 F
Is that my life? Am I
here at all?
[Verse 2]
Asus2
Down in the high road,
F
see motor cavalcades glide
Em
Past shopwindow dressers
C
desperately covering
G
All the parts they can hide
F
Black and white television
Em Dsus4 D
stares at me again
Asus2
Is that their lives?
F Am G/B C
Even dummies pretend
[Chorus 1]
F
The truth is so hard to deny
Dm
The answer is here,
C Cm
the screen never lies
Dm C
Black and white television
Bb G
Black and white television
Dm C
Black and white television
Bb G
It's the right television
Dm F
Show me it's all a dream
G Am Asus2 F
tonight
[Verse 3]
Asus2
The boys on the corner
F
sulk in their Suzuki haze
Em C
In primary colours, each
year more startling
G
But they still fade to grey
F
On black and white television,
Em Dsus4 D
it's sweeping the land
Asus2 F
Is that your life? Do you
Dm C/E F
understand?
