Better Off Red chords by Angaleena Presley

Chords with lyrics

Capo on third.
The tempo is a little tricky here, so listen to the song and play along to get the hang of it.


    C majorC   G+G  A minorAm
I'd be better off red
  C majorC          G+G
If all the things I've learned
        D MajorD     G+G
Would just fall out of my head
     C majorC    G+G
'Cause a blade of blue grass
    D MajorD     E minorEm
Left a scar on my neck
         C majorC
And it ain't quit hurtin' yet
D MajorD          G+G
  I'd be better off red

G+G    C majorC     G+G
I'd want ten little acres
  D MajorD     G+G
Instead of the world
  C majorC    G+G
I'd be a homemaker
  D MajorD      G+G
Instead of the girl
  Gm7Gm7  E minorEm
Who had to make it out
   B minorBm
Of a nowhere town
    C majorC
Just to make her mama proud


    C majorC    G+G    A minorAm
See my daddy's not well read
C majorC        G+G
He don't give a damn about these
D MajorD      G+G
Things in my head
      C majorC    G+G
He's got a chevy, a front porch
   D MajorD E minorEm
And a TV set
      C majorC
No he ain't hurtin' yet
D MajorD          G+G
  I'd be better off red

G+G      C majorC     G+G
I'd want the bank of a river
  D MajorD      G+G
Instead of the sea
  C majorC      G+G
I'd be a school teacher
 D MajorD      G+G
Instead of the freak
  Gm7Gm7  E minorEm
Who had to run away
     B minorBm
From the only place
      C majorC
Where everybody knew my name


      E minorEm
'Cause the world ain't got
E minorEm
No front porch swing
  B minorBm
The sea ain't got no
B minorBm
Fresh green banks
C majorC               D MajorD
I ain't found one finer thing, mama



    C majorC   G+G  A minorAm
I'd be better off red
  C majorC          G+G
If all the things I've learned
        D MajorD     G+G
Would just fall out of my head
     C majorC    G+G
'Cause a blade of blue grass
    D MajorD     E minorEm
Left a scar on my neck
         C majorC
And it ain't quit hurtin' yet
D MajorD             G+G
  I'd be better off red
