Better Off Red chords by Angaleena Presley

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

G        C          G
I'd want ten little acres
   D          G
Instead of the world
    C        G
I'd be a homemaker
   D           G
Instead of the girl
    Gm7    Em
Who had to make it out
     Bm
Of a nowhere town
        C
Just to make her mama proud



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



G            C         G
I'd want the bank of a river
   D           G
Instead of the sea
    C           G
I'd be a school teacher
  D            G
Instead of the freak
    Gm7    Em
Who had to run away
         Bm
From the only place
           C
Where everybody knew my name



           Em
'Cause the world ain't got
Em
No front porch swing
    Bm
The sea ain't got no
Bm
Fresh green banks
C                              D
I ain't found one finer thing, mama




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