In Color by Jamey Johnson - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Jamey Johnson Song List
Version 1 Version 3
When looking at the tabs already posted for this song, i noticed one was
capoed at the 3rd fret and the other was in the actual key played with no
capo. A nice way to play this in the right key with simple chords(no bar) is
capoed on the 1st fret. The lyrics and chord positions are credited to
Awsm_Guitarist9. i simply changed the chords to be played with a capo at the
1st fret. when you listen to the song it sounds like its played with a capo
at the 3rd fret, but this way the chords are a little easier to play and
sing along with (the chords are still correct).
