Title: True Colors Artist: Cyndi Lauper Tabbed by: Bob (onefinebob@aol.com)
Here it is! I`ve noticed that nobody has tabbed either version of True Colors, and so I decided to go for it! This is the Cyndi Lauper version. It would be much easier if you had someone with a bass guitar to play the bass line...since that`s what`s on the recording...but for those who don`t...here you go!

NOTES: 1. The places marked Note 1 use a half bar on the fifth fret. 2. This is the best reduction I could come up with from the three guitars used in the recording to one solo acoustic guitar (which is all I have.) So it may not be perfect, but give it a try and see what you think. 3. PLEASE feel free to e-mail me any comments/corrections/criticism! This is my second real attempt at tab, and I am open to any suggestions!
Here are all of the lyrics:
VERSE 1: You with the sad eyes Don`t be discouraged Oh I realize It`s hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you Make you feel so small
CHORUS: But I`ll see your true colors Shining through I`ll see your true colors And that`s why I love you So don`t be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a Rainbow
VERSE 2: Show me a smile then, Don`t be unhappy, can`t remember When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you`ve taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I`ll be there
CHORUS:
VERSE 3: Oooo.... (whispered) can`t remember When I last saw you laughing (sung) If this world makes you crazy And you`ve taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I`ll be there
FINAL CHORUS: And I`ll see your true colors Shining through I`ll see your true colors And that`s why I love you So don`t be afraid to let them show Your true colors, true colors, true colors are shining through I`ll see your true colors And that`s why I love you So don`t be afraid to let them show Your true colors, true colors Beautiful, Like a Rainbow
