Standard (EADGBE)
Organ Intro
then with guitar
Verse
Long red, flowin' through my mind
Being here, dreaming there, two pieces of the time
Salt red, whispers in my dreams
Bits and pieces in my arms this is always what it seems
Chorus
Long red, helping you to find a day
Bright red, how'm I gonna find a way
Verse
Bright red, you have chained me too
Strange now it seems somehow bright red has turned to blue
Long red, tears and shades of grey
I have changed and I have lost, forever from today
Chorus
Long red, helping you to find a day
Bright red, how'm I gonna find a way
Long red, tears and shades of grey
I have changed and I have lost, forever from today.
Solo over verses and fade out
I also recommend Mott The Hoople's live version of "Long Red", live at the
Konserthuset, Stockholm on Feb 16th 1971.
(you can find it on "All the way down from Stockholm to Philadelphia - Live 71/72)
