G
Old Red eyes is back
A7             C                G
Red from the night before the night before
G                A7               C      G
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door

[Verse 2]
              G
Old Red's in town
      A7              C               G
And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
G           A7              C               G
Just adding to the wrinkles on his deadly frown

[Chorus]
              G                A7             C       G
They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed
              G                A7             C      G
They're only red from all the women that I could've wed
             G               A7     C          G
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
                     G
They could never be blue
A7                   C
They could never be blue
G                    G
They could never be blue
A7                   C     G
They could never be blue

[Verse 3]
               G
Listen up Old Red
     A7            C               G
You never listened to a word the doctor said
G           A7             C               G
He told you if you drank another you'd be dead

[Verse 4]
                 G
Old Red eyes is back
       A7               C             G
His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
G           A7               C            G
He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw

[Chorus]
              G                  A7             C        G
They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
              G                 A7                 C      G
They're only red from all the things I could have done instead
             G               A7     C          G
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
                     G
They could never be blue
A7                   C
They could never be blue
G                    G
They could never be blue
A7                   C     G
They could never be blue

[Bridge]
 G          A7              C G/B
Blue is a street without an end
 G           A7         C  G/B
Red is the colour of my hell
 G/D         A7           C    G/B
Blue is a greeting from a friend
 G/D         A7     C      G
Red is the color of farewell

[Chorus]
            G
Old Red he died
     A7             C               G
And every single landlord in the district cried
G          A7               C            G
An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
   G           A7           C         G
A lazy little tear running from each eye
                     G
They could never be blue
A7                   C
They could never be blue
G                    G
They could never be blue
A7                   C     G
They could never be blue
