Red 
by Treble Charger 
Off their independent release (Don't know what it's called) 

Original tab by Paul Nazaroff 
(email was [email protected] but that is not working) 
Figured out chords. 

Overhauled, facelifted, and generally screwed with by Andrew Davis 
([email protected]) 
Added intro, outro, and solo, changed chord names to tablature, and 
corrected some errors. 

I've tried to space tabs a bit to give a sense of timing, but it's pretty 
much impossible if you can't listen to the song while you learn it, so I 
suggest you play the song on your stereo a few times while you try to play 
it.  In other words, "it is important to play the record over and over, 
because you learn by listening.  Later, we will tell you how to order 
breakfast just as you would at any colorful German restaurant." 
(You need to have the KMFDM single 'Mdfmk' to get that one) 

Anyway, this probably has a couple errors in it, but I think it sounds 
close enough to the original song.  During the verse, the chords given are 
played by the 2nd guitar, and the intro is played under it by the lead 
guitar.  When you're playing with just one guitar, I find it sounds better 
hitting the chords. 

My amp has 3 EQ knobs - bass, middle, and high.  I find it sounds most like 
the recording with treble maxed, middle low, and bass maxed.  This makes 
the most difference in the chorus, as it makes the distortion sound different. 

Notes: 
h = hammer-on   = slide down 
^ = bend       p = pull-off 
/ = slide up 

Intro - Clean electric:

Saw you lookin for a light 
Face painted cigarette white 
You asked the cleanest boy you found 
Couldn't see me turned around

Chorus: 

320000 
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress, 
x32010 
A picture of the people you've impressed, 
022000 
Hangs on a wall around here; 
x02010 
Vision starts to crawl when I'm near. 
320000 
And the evening waits, 
x32010 
While you get caught up to your own mistakes, 
022000 
Made up of different lines, 
x02010 
I wouldn't want to keep in my mind.

I wondered why you'd come around, 
                 x02010 
Remembering your little girl friend. 
320000                         xx0230 
Your answers kept the crowd at bay, 
                   x02010 
With compliments unwilling to pay. 
x32010                         320000 xx0230 
I have some things I'd like to say to you, 
x02010                       x32010 
But they just can't be true.

Solo:

      ^^ means stop the bend

Note #2: The second guitar is doing some harmonics and stuff during the end 
bit, and they are pretty much impossible to tab, so they're left out.  This 
sounds good enough, though.
