Other chords and tabs for the "From Red To Blue" can find at the bottom of the page. "From Red to Blue" by Billy Bragg (from the album "William Bloke") Notes: I suggest playing it using barre chords with a rhythm similar to that used in the first bar of the intro. On the CD it is actually about a quarter tone lower than shown below (who cares right?). The breaks aren't quite perfect but will sound effective enough. Intro and end of every verse e ----1-----1-----|----------------| B ----1-----1-----|--1---0---1-0---| G ----2-----2-----|--2---0-------0-| D ----------------|--2---0---------| A ----------------|0---------------| E 1-----1-----1-3-|----------------| F Am Gm Bb Another day dawns grey, It's enough to make my spit F Am Bb Gm Still we go on our way, just putting up with it C Dm C Bb Gm And when I try to make my feelings known to you F Am Bb Gm F It sounds like you have changed from red to blue F Am Gm Bb Well you're a father now, you see things in different ways F Am Bb Gm For every parent will, gain perspective on their wilder days C Dm C Bb Gm But that alone does not explain, the change I see in you F Am Bb Gm F The way you've drifted off from red to blue Dm C Bb F Sometimes I think to myself Bb F Bb F Should I vote red for my class or green for our children? Dm C Bb F But whatever choice I make Bb I will not foresake e ----------------| B --8---6---5---3-| G --9---7---5---3-| D 10---8----7--5---| (not quite right - A ----------------| but sounds good anyway) E ----------------| F Am Gm Bb So you bought it all, the best your money could buy F Am Bb Gm And I watched you sell your soul for their bright shining lie C Dm C Bb Gm Where are the principles of the friend I thought I knew? F Am Bb Gm F I guess you let them fade from red to blue F Am Gm Bb I hate the compromises that life forces us to make F Am Bb Gm We must all bend a little if we are not to break C Dm C Bb Gm But the ideals you opted out of, I still hold them to be true F Am Bb Gm F (hold) I guess they weren't so firmly held by you. +----------------------------------+ M a c k a y S c h o o l | ************* ### ### ### | S u p p o r t C e n t r e | ********* # # # | | ***** ## ## # | Cnr Goldsmith St and Bridge Road | *** # # # | Mackay Qld 4740 | * ### ### ### | Ph: 575 331 Fax: 573 006 | | | M A C K A Y | +----------------------------------+ |
