PEOPLE TAKE PICTURES OF EACH OTHER- The Kinks

INTRO    A     RIFF

A
People take pictures of the summer
         G
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
         E
And to prove that it really existed

Fathers take pictures of the mothers
And sisters take pictures of brothers
Just to show that they love one another

CHORUS #1:
     D                                    C
You can't picture love that you took from me
                             G        D
When we were young and the world was free
                                   C
Pictures of things as they used to be, don't show me no more please

People take pictures of each other
Just to prove that they really existed
Just to prove that they really existed
People take pictures of each other
And one moment will last them forever
At the time when they mattered to someone

BRIDGE:
D              D
Lie na nie na  lie na nie na
E                 C       A
Lie na nie na  na nie nie nie na
D              D
Lie na nie na  lie na nie na
E                 C       A
Lie na nie na  na nie nie nie na
C         A    C         A        RIFF
na na nie na   na na nie na

People take pictures of the summer
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
Just to prove that it really existed
People take pictures of each other
And one moment will last them forever
At the time when they mattered to someone

CHORUS #2:
A picture of me when I was just three, sat with my ma by the old oak tree
How I love things as they used to be, don't show me no more please

La la la la la...  (OVER VERSE CHORDS, FADE OUT)

NOTE:  The record actually sounds to be closer to the key of G, but this
is the only key in which the little riff works.
