Cherry Red
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G
[Verse I]
G D C G
I was thinking back To the first time we met
G D G/B C
Over plangent chords In a sad vignette
G D C G
You were waving goodbye In a cherry red corvette
Em D C
And your lips were too
G D C G
Cherry red that is, with the sky so blue
Em D G/B C
It was almost mean and your eyes were too
G D C G
So blue that is, now I am too
Em D C
And my heart burns cherry red for you
[Chorus]
G Em C G
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Em D C G
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it
Em D G C
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
G D C
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
Em D C
When the old seems almost new
Am G/B C G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Verse II]
G D C G
It was cherry red with custom flames
G D G/B C
At the hot rod show when the Kingsmen came
G D C G
And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame
Em D C
And it shook you too
G D C G
The corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design
G D G/B C
Get your picture for a dollar And have it signed
G D C G
First you got yours then I got mine
Em D C
And my heart burned cherry red for you
[Chorus]
G Em C G
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Em D C G
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it
Em D G C
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
G D C
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
Em D C
When the old seems almost new
Am G/B C G D C G
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Bridge]
Am G/B C
That's when my heart Burns cherry red
Am G/B C
My heart burns cherry red
Am G/B C G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Verse III]
G D C G
Now that fake blue sky, It sure looks real
G D G/B C
Like you were goin' To California to make a deal
G D C G
With the God of youth, With the man of steel
Em D C
Waving toodle-oo
G D C G
Now if I was young, I might track you down
G D G/B C
But this old picture is all I found
G D C G
Now my bones are shakin', My teeth are ground down
Em D C
And my heart burns cherry red for you
[Chorus]
G Em C G
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Em D C G
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it
Em D C C
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
G D C
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
Em D C
When the old seems almost new
Am G/B C G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
