Better Than a Picture - John Williamson
John plays this in the Key of C with a capo on the 4th fret.
That makes no change to the pitch, and I think it sounds better
without the capo.

Somethings happening, can we make it last?

I’ve never seen a sunset like this before,

One long cloud sleepin’ in the valley.

So much better than a picture on the wall.
Chorus:

And it’s not your summer blue, and it’s not your winter green.

It’s more like emerald.

It’s been waiting for our hearts to fall,

So we would see it all.
A B7 E A E A
So much better than a picture on the wall.
Verse 2

And we’ll never see a sunset like this again,

Tomorrow it could rain and thunder down,
E A B7
Followed by the steam, and the trickling little stream.
A B7 E A E A
So much better than a picture on the wall.
Chorus:
