tab: Red-Eyed & Blue


Recommended Posts

Using a tab found on the old Alt-Country Tab site and the tab on the Gumbopages, I tried to pull together the 'correct' (to my ear) bits from each. The part that I'm not sure about is the "F#m to F#m7" bit on the 2nd line of the 1st verse. Does anyone have any suggestions, or do you want to run through this as-tabbed and give me some feedback?

 

Thanks!

 

Red-Eyed & Blue

 

Chords:

 

A: x02220

Aaug: x03221

A6: xx2222

A6/F: xx3222

A6/F#: xx4222

A7: xx2223

A/G: 3x2220

A/F#: 2x2220

Dm/F: 10023x

 

intro:

 

A Aaug A Aaug (x2)

 

A Aaug

We've got solid-state technology

F#m F#m7

Tapes on the floor

A6 A6/F A6/F# A7

And some songs we can't afford to play

D Dm

When we came here today

Fm Em

All I wanted to say

A Aaug A Aaug

Is how much I miss you

 

 

A A/G F#m Dm/F

Alcohol and cotton balls

A6 A6/F A6/F# A7

Drugs we can't afford on the way

D Dm

But when we came here today

Fm Em

We all felt something true

A Aaug F#m D

Now I'm red-eyed and blue...

 

bridge riff:

A A E E7

 

e -------------.-------------.------------.-------------

B -------------|-------------|------------|-3-----------

G -------------|-------------|----1-------|-1-----------

D -------------|-------------|----2-------|-0-----------

A -------------|-------------|----2-------|-2-----------

E --5-5-5-0-2--'--5-5-5-0-2--'-0----------'-------------

 

Then, for the whistling bit, the chords are:

 

A-D-Bm-Bm

 

A-D-Bm-Bm

 

A-D-F#m

 

A-E

 

Then for the two piano chords after the fade out, simply...

 

G-A

 

PS - SORRY about the formatting. I can't get the chords to line up with the correct words!

My bad - forgot to paste the chords! :loser

 

They are now at the top of the tab.

 

Those are some strange-ass chords. Thanks for posting them, I'll try the song out later sometime.
