Red Tide Chords

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: Bm G Em x2 Verse: Bm There’s a smell here that stands my hairs on end G Em Dog hair in the heater, gas pumps and cedar Bm And jacknives on the nine G Em and seabirds choked on fishing line Chorus: Bm G Em7 x2 Verse:

Bm Clouds say hush but the chainsaws mush on G Em to Custer and Columbia Bm G Salty tentacles shrink in the sun but the red tide is over Em The mollusks they have won Chorus: Bm G Em7 x4 Bridge: Bm There’s a smell here of gravel and cigarettes lit G When the match made them sweet Em G When the engine turned over and beat up our street Bm Oh, that was the day D To remember Outro: D I remember because of the fires that leapt G From the caves of the things that have not happened yet Bm A add Ab When I think of it now they smell to me quite sinister D I want to go back and die at the drive in G Die before strangers can say D G I hate the rain D G I hate the rain Bm Bm G Em Bm Bm G Em Bm
