"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.

FAnother Amday dawns grey,Gm It's enough to Bbmake my spit
FStill we goAm on our wayBb, just putting Gmup with it
CAnd when I Dmtry to makeC mBby feelings known to Gmyou
FIt sounds like Amyou have Bbchanged from Gmred to blFue
FWell you're a Amfather now, Gmyou see things in Bbdifferent ways
FFor every Amparent will, Bbgain perspective on their Gmwilder days
CBut that alone doesDm not explaiCn,Bb the change I see in Gmyou
FThe way you've Amdrifted oBbff fGmrom red to Fblue
DmSometCimes I Bbthink to myFself
Should I vote Bbred for my Fclass or gBbreen for our Fchildren?
DmBut Cwhatever Bbchoice I Fmake

FSo you Ambought it all,Gm the best your Bbmoney could buy
FAnd I watched you Amsell your soul Bbfor their bright Gmshining lie
CWhere are the DmprinciplCesBb of the friend I thought I Gmknew?
FI guess you Amlet them Bbfade Gmfrom red to Fblue
FI hate the AmcompromisesGm that life forces Bbus to make
FWe must all Ambend a littleBb if we are Gmnot to break
CBut the ideals you Dmopted outC oBbf, I still hold them to be Gmtrue
F Am Bb Gm F (hold)
I guess they weren't so firmly held by you.
