Adam Carroll - Red Bandana Blues guitar chord

Red Banadana Blues

By Adam Carroll

Capo 2

D A G D

Two tied-dyed brain fried misfits who lived in a shack in the back of the bodark Woods

D A G A

A Caddo guy and a Crockett girl worked hard at staying stoned as best they could

Bm G D

Coming up in the night they were high as a Christmas moon

Bm G A

Coming down was the fear in the four walls of their room

G D G D

They were two hardcore junkies and they stayed drunker than a bunch of monkeys

D Bm

There were barrels of laughter with no time left to lose

G D G D

They had nightmares and needles, with the Stones and the Beatles

G A

they kept all the straight laced businessmen confused

G A D

and the days went by with the red bandana blues

Well ivy was grown o’r their heavenly homes

And their only companions were the chickens and the doves

When the law had em’ made they got laid in the shade

And their face was the grace from the good lord up above

Making love in the woods was peaceful most of the time

The revolution was the last thing on their minds

They were tough, foul mouthed and lazy, they ate biscuits and gravy

They wore blue bell-bottomed jeans and platform shoes

They slapped at the insects, while they laughed at the rednecks

They kept all the straight laced businessmen confused

And the days went by with the red bandana blues, all right

They wore black suspenders on all day benders

And the world was changing and the kids were running wild

They got grey hairs sat in rocking chairs

And built a great big cradle for a new born flower child

And they never grew up and they never moved to town

But they kind of faded away when the Bodarks got cut down

They had bad luck and good times, cold beer and pork rinds

And the Sunday funnies were the only worthy news

They had nightmares and needles, with the Stones and the Beatles

They kept all the straight laced businessmen confused

Yeah, they were low down and worthless but they were nice on the surface

They got by just fine on whatever they could use

And in trouble they got deeper as they grew their crops of reefer

Because business and pleasure were two words they got confused

And the days went by with the red bandana blues, hey
