Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Ooh, ooh, little red, with your heart in Stalingrad
Oh, it kills me how they hate you, but they just dont understand
Oh, oh-oh, red, when they put me on the stand
I will testify I loved you, and Im not ashamed to be your comrade
Chorus
Red! Red! Babys a red!
Shes blood red! Babys a red!
The feds said, Lock her in lead;
Shes red! but I love her!
(Hammer and sickle on my mind...)
Verse
Ooh, ooh, little red, its not like McCarthy said
Though we differ on religion, we both support the working man
Oh, oh-oh, red, if the bombs fall on our lands
Then our politics won't matter...only that I loved you until death
(Hammer and sickle...)
Chorus
Red! Red! Babys a red!
Shes blood red! Babys a red!
The feds said, Lock her in lead;
Shes red! but I love her!
Oh! Yeah! Babys a red!
Shes blood red! Babys a red!
The feds said, Lock her in lead;
Shes red! but I love her!
Bridge
I want to touch you and Im not afraid
I want to touch you and Im not ashamed
I want to tell you that Im not afraid... theyll burn us at the stake!
I want to love you and Im not afraid
I want to love you and Im not ashamed
I want to love you and Im not afraid; oh, baby...
(A Dm guitar solo...Ill probably tab it out later)
(Hammer and sickle on my mind...) Saint Petersburg in summertime...
(Hammer and sickle on my mind...) Stars over Moscow shining bright...
(Hammer and sickle on my mind...) The shores of Astrakhan are fine...
(Hammer and sickle on my mi-i-ind...)
Chorus
Red! Red! Babys a red!
Shes blood red! Babys a red!
The feds said, Lock her in lead;
Shes red! but I love her!
