This is the studio version. They play it a little different live, you can find the
live version here: http://www.thehenningsensfans.com/lyrics-tabs/tabs/color-red/
You can play this song several ways. I think the easiest one is with a half step down
tuned guitar. If you want to play it standart tunning click transpose -1 and play
F#,E,B, A#m, D#m instead of G, F, C, Bm and Em).
If you want a easier version with a capo, click transpose -5 and play D,C, G, F#m
and Bm, and with a capo on the 4th fret :)

A blood moon of a neon sign

You're got no good on your mind

Hitting at her on the chair

And I hear the color red

I don't blame you but what he?s taken just ain't worth his life

Hallelujah, I can't let you kill a man tonight,

Cause I'm all that you have left, and you're standing on the edge

Of the color red

A 45 on the shotgun seat

Traitor's kiss on an innocent cheek

To the color red

Down at the coffee shop, hear the man talking

Pats you back while he is picking your pocket

And I know sometimes a brother needs a helping hand

May be a sin but I'm sure the lord will understand

Why I had to steal your gun
