ACG
Red from the night before the night before
GACG
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door
G
Old Red's in town
ACG
And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
GACG
Just adding to the wrinkles on his deadly frown
GAG
They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed
GAG
They're only red from all the women that I could've wed
GAG
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
G
They could never be blue
AC
They could never be blue
GG
They could never be blue
ACG
They could never be blue
G
Listen up Old Red
ACG
You never listened to a word the doctor said
GACG
He told you if you drank another you'd be dead
G
Old Red eyes is back
ACG
His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
G A7 C G
He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw
GAG
They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
GAG
They're only red from all the things I could have done instead
GAG
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
G
They could never be blue
AC
They could never be blue
GG
They could never be blue
ACG
They could never be blue
GACG/B
Blue is a street without an end
GACG/B
Red is the colour of my hell
GACG/B
Blue is a greeting from a friend
GACG
Red is the color of farewell
G
Old Red he died
ACG
And every single landlord in the district cried
GACG
An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
GACG
A lazy little tear running from each eye
G
They could never be blue
AC
They could never be blue
GG
They could never be blue
ACG
They could never be blue
