Shades Of Grey Chords

(ver. 1)
Billy Joel
[Intro]
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba
       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba
       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!

[Verse 1]
Em          D                      C
Some things were perfectly clear,
              Bm        Em
seen with the vision of youth
Em           D                  C
No doubts and nothing to fear,
              Bm        Em
I claimed the corner on truth
Em         D                   C
These days it's harder to say
            Bm           Em
I know what I'm fighting for
Em         D               C
My faith is falling away
             G
I'm not that sure anymore

[Riff]
G C Dsus   G
G C Em   D G

[Chorus 1]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey wherever I go
    G      C            D           Em
The more I find out the less that I know
G         C         Em           D
Black and white is how it should be
     G        C            D        E
But shades of grey are the colors I see

[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba
       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba
       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!

[Verse 2]
Em          D                      C
Once there were trenches and walls
         Bm            Em
and one point of every view
Em            D                C
Fight 'til the other man falls
            Bm           Em
Kill him before he kills you
Em        D                       C
These days the edges are blurred,
            Bm       Em
I'm old and tired of war
Em         D                  C
I hear the other man's words
             G
I'm not that sure anymore

[Riff]
G C Dsus   G
G C Em   D G

[Chorus 2]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey are all that I find
  G    C           D     Em
When I look to the enemy line
G         C            Em       D
Black and white was so easy for me
     G        C            D        E
But shades of grey are the colors I see

[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba
       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba
       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!

[Verse 3]
Em           D               C
Now with the wisdom of years
         Bm            Em
I try to reason things out
Em           D             C
And the only people I fear
              Bm         Em
are those who never have doubts
Em               D              C
Save us all from arrogant men,
            Bm             Em
and all the causes they're for
Em        D                C
I won't be righteous again
             G
I'm not that sure anymore

[Chorus 3]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey are all that I find
    G      C       D     Em
When I look to the enemy line
G              C        Em         D
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
   G      C            D        E
Shades of grey are the colors I see

[Chorus 4]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey wherever I go
    G      C            D           Em
The more I find out the less that I know
G              C        Em         D
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
G         C            D        E
Shades of grey are the colors I see

[Epic Guitar Embellishment]
