What Colour Are You

A I was there at the station when the colours combined A I’d been trying to change 'em all with my mind D I’m out of fire with the cupboards bare D My love left and I got nothing to share A So I put my last dollar on a railroad track A But no train came so I took it back E I put it in a gumball Cracker Jack prize D I won a mood ring and it was just my size A It said, what colour are you? A What colour are you? A Some have it all, still it ain’t enough A I was aching for love, even the slightest touch D A young woman walked into that lonesome place D She said I know that look, I’ve seen your face A I’ve been there before, it’s a terrible place E Now I’m bound for glory, I’m overdue D I’m sick of seeing red and feeling blue A What colour are you? A What colour are you? A I’ve been trying to keep you off my mind A I’m trying to keep these colours all in line D I’m a hostage in a forgotten war, tied to a rock on the ocean floor A To be honest, with you, I forgot what I was fighting for E People turn green with envy, black with hate D Why can’t we all just communicate? A What colour are you? A What colour are you? F#m A And my heart keeps beating like an old bass drum F#m A There’s plenty more of that where that came from F#m A And I'll still lay it on the line when the right time comes E And even if I’m scared to death, white with fear D I’ve been black and blue, I’ve even disappeared A What colour are you? A What colour are you? A I was there at the station when the colours aligned A And in that lonesome place I felt peace in my mind E I’m on a golden wavelength, sunset hue D I’m sick of seeing red and feeling blue A What colour are you? A What colour are you? (All you beautiful people) A What colour are you? A What colour are you? A Oooh... What colour are you? (Tell me people) A Oooh... what colour are you? (All you beautiful people) A Oooh... what colour are you? (All dem people) A Oooh... what colour are you? (All you beautiful people)
