Studio version, they play it a little different live, you can find the live version

You can play this song several ways. I think the easiest one is with a half step down
tuned guitar. If you want to play it standart tunning click transpose -1 and play F#,E,B,
A#m, D#m instead of G, F, C, Bm and Em).
If you want a easier version with a capo, click tranpose -5 and play D,C, G, F#m and Bm,
and with a capo on the 4th fret :)

G
A blood moon of a neon sign
G
You’ve got no good on your mind
F C G
And I hear the color red
G
Saw your neighbor smiling there
G
Hitting at her on the chair
F C
And I hear the color red
G (palm mute) Bm Bm
I don’t blame you but what he’s taken just ain’t worth his life
G Bm C
Hallelujah, I can’t let you kill a man tonight,
Em C
Cause I’m all that you have left, and you’re standing on the edge
G G F C
Of the color red
G
A 45 on the shotgun seat
G
Cold steel just needing heat
F C G
And I hear the color red
G
Traitor’s kiss on an innocent cheek
G
Stole the land from beneath your feet
F C G
And I hear the color red

Blood in the water, big red tractor

Auctioning it's chance like a bad man’s laughter

And I know sometimes a brother needs a helping hand

May be a sin but I’m sure the lord will understand

Why I had to steal your gun
