*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Clannad - I See Red
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
F    Am    F    Am
[Verse 1]
Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
And the Fman said, "Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the Ambig time"
Armour-clad forces, riding Trojan horses
Never made sense to me
I didn't Fwanna be a part of the great debate on Ammoonshine
[Chorus]
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
I said, "FStop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see Amred, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
And he Fsets his face towards the far hoAmrizon
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
'Cause he's Fdoing everything he can to keep surAmviving
[Chorus]
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
I said, "FStop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see Amred, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 3]
So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
You can Flearn to love your lifetime of disAmtraction
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
All the way from A to Z
I can Flive without that kind of satisAmfaction
[Chorus]
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
I said, "FStop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see Amred, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
I said, "FStop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see Amred, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
I said, "FStop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see Amred, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]        (fade to end)
"FStop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your Amhead"
I said, "FStop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see Amred, I see red, I see red"

*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****

Clannad - I See Red

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[Intro]

F Am F Am

[Verse 1]

Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days

One and one and one is three

F Am

And the man said, "Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time"

Armour-clad forces, riding Trojan horses

Never made sense to me

F Am

I didn't wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine

[Chorus]

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

I said, "Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

[Verse 2]

Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles

He always lands on his feet

F Am

And he sets his face towards the far horizon

Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?

But his rhythm don't miss a beat

F Am

'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving

[Chorus]

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

I said, "Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

[Verse 3]

So who wants a riot? People should be quiet

Don't we give them good TV?

F Am

You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction

Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside

All the way from A to Z

F Am

I can live without that kind of satisfaction

[Chorus]

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

I said, "Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

[Chorus]

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

I said, "Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

[Chorus]

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

I said, "Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

[Chorus] (fade to end)

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

I said, "Stop, hold the phone

This has to be cut to the bone

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
