Old Red Eyes Is Back

G G
Old Red eyes is back
A7 A7 C C G G
Red from the night before the night before
G G A7 A7 C C G G
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door

G G
Old Red's in town

A7 A7 C C G G
And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
G G A7 A7 C C G G
Just adding to the wrinkles on his deadly frown

G G A7 A7 C C G G
They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed
G G A7 A7 C C G G
They're only red from all the women that I could've wed
G G A7 A7 C C G G
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise


G G
They could never be blue
A7 A7 C C
They could never be blue
G G G G
They could never be blue
A7 A7 C C G G
They could never be blue

G G
Listen up Old Red

A7 A7 C C G G
You never listened to a word the doctor said
G G A7 A7 C C G G
He told you if you drank another you'd be dead

G G
Old Red eyes is back

A7 A7 C C G G
His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
G G A7 A7 C C G G
He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw
G G A7 A7 C C G G
They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
G G A7 A7 C C G G
They're only red from all the things I could have done instead
G G A7 A7 C C G G
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise

G G
They could never be blue
A7 A7 C C
They could never be blue
G G G G
They could never be blue
A7 A7 C C G G
They could never be blue

G G A7 A7 C C G/B G/B
Blue is a street without an end
G G A7 A7 C C G/B G/B
Red is the colour of my hell
G/D G/D A7 A7 C C G/B G/B
Blue is a greeting from a friend
G/D G/D A7 A7 C C G G
Red is the colour of farewell

G G
Old Red he died

A7 A7 C C G G
And every single landlord in the district cried
G G A7 A7 C C G G
An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
G G A7 A7 C C G G
A A lazy little tear running from each eye

G G
They could never be blue
A7 A7 C C
They could never be blue
G G G G
They could never be blue
A7 A7 C C G G
They could never be blue
