Red

 

Intro: C-Em (x2) 


C           Em                C 
The sky was red, he stayed ahead 
             Em               C 
I saw him thread one step more 
             Em                   C 
Gets out of bed, he fills with dread 
                Em                 F 
His dreams are dead, money makes poor 
             G                     C       Em 
He's been mislead, life's flown overhead 
  
  C          Em      C        Em    C     Em    C 
Overhead...      Overhead...       Ooo... 


                              Em 
There's a bird trapped in his head 
                         C 
But he ignores it instead 
                         Em 
And his spirit has long fled 
                            C 
And now he's hard to the core 
                Em                C 
She could have lead him to the rich sky 
                    Em                    F 
He wonders why she's not around anymore 
             G                     C       Em 
He's been mislead, life's flown overhead 
  
  C          Em      C        Em    C     Em 
Overhead...      Overhead...       Ooo... 


        C                       Em 
He said I could lead you to the red sky 
                           C 
If you'd just stop asking why 
                           Em 
If you'd just stop asking why 
                      C         Em 
If you'd just stop asking why 
 C     Em 
Why... 


           C                     Em 
And I said I will reach deep down inside 
                  C                          Em 
And stay with you ahead and give you all my red 
                     C 
And put it in your head and in your heart  
            Em 
And I will part and you will stay  
                 C              Em 
But I'll still dream of one day 
          C        Em 
Might not be so far away  
          C        Em      C 
Might not be so far away  

      Em       C       Em       C 
So far away...   So far away...   (Repeat at your own leisure till the end)
