There's a nice little 2 bar Am run-down I use on the penultimate line of each chorus:
|0-0-|0-0-| You keep an ordinary Am chord in place |1-1-|1-1-| |2-2-|2-2-| and you change the bass note from A to G to F# to F |2-2-|2-2-| |0-x-|x---| I use my little finger for the G note and my thumb for the F# and F |x-3-|2-1-|
[VERSE 1] Dm9G6C I talk to your photograph each day Dm9G6A7 You should hear the lovely things I say F9FmCmaj7 But I thought how happy I would be AmDGG+ If your photograph could talk to me.
[CHORUS] CG If I had a talking picture of you, G7C I would run it every time I felt blue. A7Dm I would sit there in the gloom of my lonely little room D9GG+ And applaud each time you whispered, "I love you; love you." CG On the screen the moment you came in view G7E We would talk the whole thing over, we two. Am I would give ten shows a day, and a midnight matinée, DmG7C If I had a talking picture of you.
[VERSE 2] Dm9G6C All I have to keep me company Dm9G6A7 Is the photograph you gave to me F9FmCmaj7 I propose a thousand plans but oh AmDG It don't answer 'Yes' or even 'No'
