Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Red (Elegy)
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Am Em Fmaj7 E7sus E7 (2x)
Am Em
My love is like a red, red rose
Fmaj7 G
Snake on her shoulder and a ring in her nose
Am Em
Sleeping it off in her swaddling clothes
Fmaj7 E7sus E7
Innocent as she lies
Am G
I don't know where she come from
Dm Am
Hanging with dealers and slicked-back scum
Dm Am
Dreaming of a summer that never comes
G Fmaj7 G
And waiting for me to die

Ophelia is drownded in the cold, cold flood
