Red Horse - Blue Chalk
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:   C    G    Dm    F   C  
So I wonder how she's doingG  
I hate it when the rumours flyDm  
They give off such a strange sense of missionF  
Wing your helplessness on highC  
She would never run from strangersG  
She sang alone like a bell will tollDm  
Way above all the clang and the clatterF  
Out of fear of her demon soul_C_
INTERLUDE:    G    Dm    F  C  
Maybe none of this is my businessG  
And none of what I hear is trueDm  
I am far from the mint conditionF  
Circulation's hard on you
CHORUS:
CHold tight, hang toughEm7  
Love's not Emenough
To Dmkeep you off that stuffF  
To saGve you
FHold tight, hang toughEm  
Love's not Em7enough
To Dmkeep you off that stuffF  
To Gsave you Cnow
INTERLUDE:           G      Dm      F  C  
            Oh oh, Oh oh
He could always find the holes in the bottlesG  
Even with a blindfold onDm  
Never kept his seat on the wagonF  
Rolling off like a rolling stone
CBlue chalk between his fingersG  
Hustling a poolroom songDm  
He always kept a line for the singersF  
Pointing his cue, right from wrong
CHORUS:
CHold tight, hang toughEm7  
Love's not Emenough
To Dmkeep you off that stuffF  
To saGve you
FHold tight, hang toughEm  
Love's not Em7enough
To Dmkeep you off that stuffF  
To Gsave you Cnow
INTERLUDE:           G       Dm      F  C  
            Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh
So I wonder how she's doingG  
I hate it when the rumours flyDm  
They give off such a strange sense of missionF  
Wing your helplessness on highC  
She would never run from strangersG  
She sang alone like a bell will tollDm  
Way above all the clang and the clatterF  
Out of fear of her demon soul_C_, oh oh oh
OUTRO:          G       Dm      F  
       Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh, oh oh oh
       COhh, oh Goh, Oh Dmoh, Oh Foh, oh oh oh

So I wonder how she's doing

Out of fear of her demon soul__
