The Growlers - Red Tide
[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
DmThe summer is here
And the red tide's near
The day breaks brown
But when the sun goes down
The faces shine bright
Through the whole night
Her glow hypnotizes
As the sea drops and rises
[Chorus]
FRed tide Gcome alive in the night red Dmtide
Come alive AmtonDmight
[Verse 2]
DmI kick the crystals in to the sky
I don't stop to ask you why
Red tide, friend of the moon
You come suddenly and leave too soon
[Chorus]
FRed tide Gcome alive in the night red Dmtide
Come alive AmmoonDmlight
[Verse 3]
DmI was beckoned from the western shore
I couldn't hold my spirit anymore
No legend could scare me still
I give in let go and drift
AmFirst glance and you drew me near
GTo the sand with the distant fear
AmA midnight flash it doesn't last
 FI have to wait unGtil the seasons Cpass....

And the red tide's near

But when the sun goes down

The faces shine bright

Through the whole night

Her glow hypnotizes

As the sea drops and rises

[Chorus]

F G Dm

Red tide come alive in the night red tide

Come alive tonight

I kick the crystals in to the sky

Red tide, friend of the moon

You come suddenly and leave too soon

A midnight flash it doesn't last

I have to wait until the seasons pass....
