S0ng f0r a Blve Guit&r -- Red House Painters

tabbed by John H (jhalfpenny@excite.com)

standard tuning capo at fret #1

oh and i had to rename it on mxtabs because it wouldn't let me put it on for some reason. :0)

chords used

   D -- xx0323   A -- x02220     Em - 022000    G -- 320003   Gsus4 - 320013
   G5 - 320033   Bm - x24432   D/F# - 20032x   Em7 - 022033

i've put G5 as well. feel free to use it instead of G if you prefer, it does sound brighter for the instrumental parts. i've also put the full version of D/F# to make it easier to remember, but the song only uses the last 3 (i.e. lowest pitch) strings i think


intro & main riff- D / A / Em (occ. Em7)

D    A                  Em
when everything we felt failed
D        A                     Em
and some music soft in distant sails
D      A                         Em
but it don't sound like it did before
D      A                          Em
then i know i'm left with nothing more
     G      D     A   Em
than my own soul

D  /  A  /  Em

D           A            Em
when pretty pictues face back
D        A                           Em
but your coats aren't hanging on the rack
D        A           Em
and blue water turns to
D A                  Em
a place that i can't get to

  G            D
a place that i can't

     A          Bm
in a room all i feel
       C                   G (with Gsus4 embellishment)
is the cold that you left


D           A         Bm
through the air all i see
        C                   G (with Gsus4 again)  D/F#
is your face full of blame

Em     A       D
what's left to see

G      A        D
what's there to see


(main riff with guitar solo x4, end on G)


D      A          Bm          C
in the room all i feel
       C                  G (Gsus4)
is the cold that you left

D           A         Bm
through the air all i see
        C                  G (Gsus4)  D/F#
is your face full of blame

Em     A       D   A  Bm
