Better Than A Picture by John Williamson
Better Than A Picture
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:4th fret
I know that technically B7 is musically the correct chord.
But if you listen to the accordion it is playing a B major chord.
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.
Intro/Bridge:
E B E B
E B E B
Something’s happening, can we make it last?
E B A B
I won’t forget this moment, the day is goin’ fast.
Verse 1:
E A E A
I’ve never seen a sunset like this before,
E A E A
One long cloud sleepin’ in the valley.
E A B
And the heaven that I see, belongs to you and me,
A B E A E A
So much better than a picture on the wall.
Chorus:
E A B
And it’s not your summer blue, and it’s not your winter green.
A E A
It’s more like emerald.
A E A
It’s been waiting for our hearts to fall,
A B
So we would see it all.
A B E A E A
So much better than a picture on the wall.
Verse 2:
E A E A
And we’ll never see a sunset like this again,
E A E A
Tomorrow it could rain and thunder down,
E A B7
Followed by the steam, and the trickling little stream.
A B E A E A
So much better than a picture on the wall.
Chorus:
E A B
And it’s not your summer blue, and it’s not your winter green.

It’s more like emerald.

So we would see it all.
