True Colors - Eva Cassidy
I've partly based this tab on the live version from the American Tune album. I've put the intro
section in as it is on the song but then I've reverted to chords from there (not as it
is in the song).

Verse 1
[Am] [G]
You with the sad eyes
[C] [F]
Don't be discouraged
[Am] [G]
Though I realize
[Em] [F]
It's hard to take courage
[Am] [G]
In a world full of people
[C] [F]
You can lose sight of it all
[Am] [G]
And the darkness there inside you
[F] [C]
Makes you feel so small
Chorus
[F] [C] [G]
But i see your true colors shining through
[F] [C] [F] [G]
See your true colors and that's why i love you
[F] [C] [G] [Am]
so don't be afraid to let them show
[F] [C] [F] [C] [G]
your true colors, true colors are beautiful
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [Am] [G] [C] [F]
like a rainbow
Verse 2
[Am] [G]
Show me a smile then,
[C] [F] [Am] [G]
And Don't be unhappy, can't remember when
[Em] [F]
I last saw you laughing
[Am] [G]
If this world makes you crazy
[C] [F]
And you've taken all you can bear
[Am] [G]
You call me up
[F] [C]
Because you know I'll be there
Chorus
[F] [C] [G]
And i see your true colors shining through
[F] [C] [F] [G]
See your true colors, that's why i love you

your true colors, your true colors are beautiful
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [Am] [G] [C] [F]
like a rainbow
Verse 3
Ohhhhh
[Am] [C] [F]
I can't remember when I last saw you laugh
