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)
