| G  Bm  | C      |
| G  Bm  | C      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
G         Bm     C      D
 Thinking bout a life I knew
   G         Bm        C              Em
And how the sky's true colour cast a spell over you
C                    D
 Heaven's wonder was on display
C
 In shades of powder blue
 
 
[Instrumental]
| G  Bm  | C      |

[Verse 2]
G         Bm        C       D
 Thinking back on a corner store
   G        Bm           C                       Em
And how the change in my pocket jangled with the changes in store
C            D
 For me as I made my way
C                   G
 Afraid of changing more
 
 
[Bridge]
D                       B7
 But is it strange to attach a colour
     Em          D   C
To a moment or a sound?
     Bm7           C
To a feeling or misgiving?
     Am7            B7
To a shadow hanging round?

[Verse 3]
G     Bm         C     D
 Photograph of a boy I knew
   G         Bm        C                  Em
And how the sky's true colour matched his pullover too
C                      D
 Now I catch a glimpse as he fades
C
 In shades of powder blue
 
 
[Instrumental]
| G  Bm  | C      |
| G  Bm  | C      |
 
 
[Outro]
         Em           D   C
It seems time often paints
               D
These memories on parade
C              D
 For reasons I can't explain
C                    G   Bm   C
 In shades of powder blue
G  Bm  C                    G  Bm  C
Oh,     in shades of powder blue
G  Bm  C                    G  Bm  C  G
        In shades of powder blue
