Red Guitar chords by Loudon Wainwright Iii

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Intro:

Bb                  C
Used to have a red guitar
       G               C
Till I smashed it one drunk night
Bb                        C
Smashed it in the classic form
G                  C
As Peter Townshend might
F                   G
Threw it in the fireplace
Am        G       C
I left it there a while
Bb                C
Kate, she started crying
         G                 C
When she saw my sorry smile

Verse 1:
Bb                  C
Red guitar was made of wood
G                      C
Could not take the heat
Bb             C
Red guitar, it caught on fire
        G              C
And the damage was complete

F                   G
It burned until all that was left
    Am       G      C
Was six pegs and six strings
Bb               C
Kate, she said, "You are a fool
G                            C
You've done a foolish thing."

Bb                 C
Placed the remains in the case
      G                 C
And I put the case away
Bb               C
Went to New York City
      G                   C
For a new guitar the next day

Outro:
F                 G
I bought myself a blond guitar
Am       G         C
I had it for three days
     Bb             C
Some junkie stole my blond guitar
    G                 C
God works in wondrous ways
