Red Guitar
Written by Kris Allen
Intro: D, Dsus, D, Dsus  
-----------D  
It may not be
--------G  
The best one
-----------D  
It may not be
----------------G  
Like the rest of 'em
---------Bm  
But she makes it sound so sweet
----A  
The melody, she makes it siiiing
-------D---Dsus, D, Dsus  
On her red guitar
-----------G------------D  
The colour never fades away
-----------A-----------------D  
No matter where she has it placed
-------------------Bm--------------------A-----G, A  
And my life would change when I saw the face
--------------D-----------G  
Of her red guitar
(Same for the next two verses:)
It's been through hell
Oh, the sound it makes
It takes me to
Some higher place
She doesn't have a clue
Oh, that I love to listen to
(Chorus)
She plays it soft
So only I can hear
The same old song
That she played last year
And it may not have all the strings
Oh, but she strums it beautifully!
(Chorus)
D, G, D, G  
Outro:
--14--12--9--10--7--9--5--7--332----------|
------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------|
---0---0--0---0--0--0--0--0--000----------|
------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------|
You just have to work out the timing of the tab.
Happy playing!
