Charlie Robison

This is my second tab so if I’m way off let me know and I’ll fix it.

Capo 2

D          A            E          A
I’ve got a picture it’s glued in a book
D 	       A 	E 	    
Of most of my family that somebody took
D            A       E            A
Grandpa died early before I could know
D                 A         E          A   
The man that they tell me I take after so
D              A           E              A
Though I don’t remember it still makes me laugh
       D      A             E      A
When I see us together in a photograph

D          A            E          A
Momma and Daddy burned hot like a flame
D                    A          E          
But it all turned to ashes with no one to blame
D           A            E         A
I can still see them but not in my mind
D            A            E          A
It’s been so long that my memory’s blind
D              A           E              A
Though I can’t remember it still makes me laugh
       D      A             E      A
When I see us together in a photograph 

        D             A      E        A
Well it happened last winter we had a son
    D           A         E            
And they took a picture a family round one
     D          A            E          A
It’s there to remind you when you can’t recall
D               A                E           A 
What your daddy looked like when you were so small
D                A           E              A
Though you won’t remember it still makes me laugh
         D      A             E      A
When you see us together in a photograph
D                A           E              A
Though you won’t remember it still makes me laugh
         D      A             E      A
When you see us together in a photograph

hey instead of D A E A try this
003210> 032010> 320033> 032010>
? C G C
Im not sure what the 1st chord is called but thats how i figured out how to play this song and it seems to sound pretty close the the way Charlie plays it. See what you think.
-highwayyman | 2/1/2005
F C G C SOUNDS CLOSER I THINK
-BREESE | 2/9/2005
I think the D A E A is right on. I could be wrong, because I am no pro, but it sounds like a great tab to me. Good Job!
-dajenks20 | 2/21/2005
I will check it - it's not a matter of if it sounds good, it's a
matter of if the tab is in the recorded key or not - this song with
a capo on 2 means it is in the key of E.

-lmofle | 7/13/2005
Only 1 mistake - on the 2nd line of all the
verses it stays in E and doesn't go to A

-lmofle | 7/20/2005
Thanks for the help man. I made the changes. If there are any more corrections they are welcome.
-smalltownguy | 7/21/2005
I think you have done an excellent job for a second tab. If lmofle rates it a 10, you can be very proud of your effort. Based on listening to the video on CMT.com, I do have some minor suggestions regarding lyrical accuracies and chord placement that reflect my perception of the cadence and flow of the song. Instead of trying to list every little detail, I'll just post my version and you can pick up my suggestions from it:

PHOTOGRAPH - Charlie Robison **Capo 2**

-crcrcrcr | 7/22/2005
breese is an idiot F C G C sounds nothing like it
-LornTX07 | 8/29/2005
Does any one know the tabs for the intro to this song
-mustang65jww | 8/30/2005
Sorry I hadn't gotten to your comments crcrcrcr... I must admit I haven't had a lot of time for tabbing or even playing as of late. After listening to the song again I do believe your way was a little closer and have made the changes accordingly. Thanks for the input.
-smalltownguy | 12/2/2005
smalltownguy, Glad I could help. There still is one minor lyrical correction. In the last verse, it is: "it'll still make you laugh".
It may seem trivial, but it is crucial to the central theme of generational sequence that the verses follow, and it is where the author reveals that the song is written to his son.

charlie plays this f-c-g-
