Color Red

G G F C  G

G
A blood moon of a neon sign
G
You’ve got no good on your mind
    F   C               G
And   I  hear the color red
G
Saw your neighbor smiling there
G
In an adirondack chair
   F  C
And I  hear the color red

G (palm mute)                         Bm                   Bm
I don’t blame you but what he’s taken just ain’t worth his life
G                          Bm          C
Hallelujah, I can’t let you kill a man tonight,
                            Em                                C
Cause I’m all that you have left, and you’re standing on the edge
             G  G  F   C
Of the color red


G
A 45 on the shotgun seat
G
Cold steel just needing heat
    F  C                 G
And   I   hear the color red
G
Traitor’s kiss on an innocent cheek
G
Stole the land from beneath your feet
    F  C                 G
And   I   hear the color red


G (palm mute)                         Bm                   Bm
I don’t blame you but what he’s taken just ain’t worth his life
G                           Bm         C
Hallelujah, I can’t let you kill a man tonight,
                                Em                            C
When you think you have lost it all and you don’t have far to fall,
             G  G
To the color red

F  C                G
I    hear the color red
G (palm mute)
Down at the coffee shop, hear the man talking
G (palm mute)
Pats you back while he is picking your pocket
F   C              G
I   hear the color red
G (palm mute)
Blood in the water, big red tractor
G (palm mute)
Auctioneer chants like a bad man’s laughter
F   C             G
I   hear the color red
      Em    D          C                       G
And I know sometimes a brother needs a helping hand
Em       D                              C
May be a sin but I’m sure the lord will understand
C (palm mute)
Why I had to steal your gun

G (palm mute)                         Bm                   Bm
I don’t blame you but what he’s taken just ain’t worth his life
G                           Bm           C
Hallelujah, I can’t let you go out there tonight,
          Em                C
Cause I’m all that you have left, and you’re standing on the edge
