So, Bill was hammering away on his "SG" on a "boring 1,4,5 pattern. Then he changed it to 1,5,4 - 1,5,6 - ahhhh! I suggested a slight change in rythym - and a new "Verse" of something was born. After adding the others parts - We had this whacky yet "Oh so True" classic.

All Rock On Songs are played "Live" with no editing of any kind. (except fades)

Verse 1

In the neighborhood where I live, lives a man named "Roy G. Biv.
He never talked in "black or white," and he couldn't even go out at night.

Chorus

When you know the truth, the colors you see are up to you.
When the rain is falling down, you see him when you start to look around.

Verse 2

So it's red - orange - yellow - green, better than the grey you've seen.
But Roy thought that wouldn't do, so he went and he gave you blue.

Chorus

When the rain is falling down, you see him when you start to come around.
When you know the thuth, the colors you see are up to you.

Bill's Hot Lead

Chorus

When you know the truth, the colors you see are up to you.
When the rain is falling down, you see him when you start to look around.
