Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Red (Elegy)


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: A minorAm E minorEm Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7sus E7E7  (2x)

A minorAm        E minorEm
My love is like a red, red rose
Fmaj7Fmaj7            G+G
Snake on her shoulder and a ring in her nose
A minorAm           E minorEm
Sleeping it off in her swaddling clothes
Fmaj7Fmaj7      E7sus E7E7
Innocent as she lies
A minorAm         G+G
I don't know where she come from
DmDm            A minorAm
Hanging with dealers and slicked-back scum
DmDm            A minorAm
Dreaming of a summer that never comes
  G+G         Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
And waiting for me to die

CHORUS:
    A minorAm             Fmaj7Fmaj7
'Cause she is the daughter of the Joshua Tree
G+G          Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
Long-time losers and o.g. wannabes
A minorAm             Fmaj7Fmaj7
Mama's in the corn and the fields are fallow
G+G             D/F#D/F#
Soul needs saving, but I'm too damned shallow


INTERLUDE: A minorAm E minorEm Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7sus E7E7  (2x)


A minorAm          E minorEm
Sweet Maria, she's a pretty little nine
Fmaj7Fmaj7           G+G
Kicks like a mule but she barks just fine
A minorAm            E minorEm
I ain't cleaned her in a mighty long time
Fmaj7Fmaj7      E7sus E7E7
Taking her out tonight
A minorAm           G+G
Dip her in a bucket of kerosene
DmDm         A minorAm
Mister Rogers on my TV screen
DmDm          A minorAm
Friendliest fucker I ever seen
    G+G        Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
We are precious in his sight

CHORUS:
    A minorAm             Fmaj7Fmaj7
'Cause we are the children of the Joshua Tree
G+G          Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
Long-time losers and o.g. wannabes
A minorAm             Fmaj7Fmaj7
Mama's in the corn and the fields are barren
G+G             D/F#D/F#
Roof needs fixing, but I'm way past caring


INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm E minorEm Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G A minorAm E minorEm Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7sus E7E7
       A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm DmDm A minorAm G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G


A minorAm             E minorEm
Ophelia is drownded in the cold, cold flood
 Fmaj7Fmaj7       G+G
A augmentedA thorn by any other name draws blood
A minorAm         E minorEm
Deep red drops on a scarlet bud
Fmaj7Fmaj7      E7sus E7E7
Daddy, we coming home
A minorAm         G+G
We don't know where home lies now
  DmDm         A minorAm
But we'll turn up there some damned how
DmDm            A minorAm
Drawn to the barn and the busted plough
    G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
And the graves all overgrown


CHORUS:
    A minorAm             Fmaj7Fmaj7
'Cause we are the children of the Joshua Tree
G+G          Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
Long-time losers and o.g. wannabes
A minorAm             Fmaj7Fmaj7
Mama's in the corn and the field's been trampled
G+G            D/F#D/F#
You can't reason with a soul in shambles
