[Verso 1]
 
C 
I'm going to where the sun burns 
                         F 
And the heat stays in command 
F 
Come and lay by my side 
C 
Right here 
C 
To where the river turns to dust 
C                 F 
And god is never rushed 
F 
Come and lay by my side 
       C 
Right here 
G                       C 
Red, I love you and the world 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
It seemed to make sense 
C 
When Brother Santo said 
C                 F 
One more run be enough 
                 C 
Going to be enough 
C 
Money for everything 
C                                F 
Silver toed boots and kerosene a-ha 
F 
Come and lay by my side 
      C 
Right here 
G                       C 
Red, I love you and the world 


[Verso 3]

C 
Well the buzzing, the stink 
C 
And the choking 
                 F 
I can't stay no more 
F 
Come and lay by my side 
       C 
Right here 
G                       C 
Red, I need you and the world 


[Verso 4]

C            G            Am 
When I see you behind the glass 
      F                   G 
I forget that I'm in the cage 
                        Am 
They bring me to Sunday mass 
       F               G 
But it never wiped the rage 
                        C 
Red, I love you and the world 


[Verso 5]
 
C 
Seven months gone and seven years to go 
                     F 
Red, I can't stay no more 
F 
Come and lay by my side 
      C 
Right here 
G                       C 
Red, I love you and the world 
G                       C 
Red, I need you and the world
