Redemption Song(complete)

It took me ages to work this one out
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

+8 -8 +7 -7 +7 -8 -8
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
+8 +8 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7
Sold I to the merchant ships,
-7 -6 +6 +6 +7 -7 -7
Minutes after they took I
+6 +6 +6 +6 +6 -6
From the bottomless pit.
-7 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7 -8 -8
But my h—an—d was made strong
+8 +8 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7 +7
By the hand of the Almighty.
-7 -7 -7 -6 +6 +7 -6 -7 -7
We forward in this ge-ne-ra-tion
+6 +6 -6 -6
Tri-um-phant-ly.

-7 -8 -7 -6 +6
Won’t you help to sing
+6 -7 -6 -6 +6
These songs of freedom
-6 -7 -8 -7 -6 +6
Cause all I ev-er have
+6 -7 -6-6 +6
Redemption songs;
+6 -7 -6-6 +6
Redemption songs.

-7 -7 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7 +7 -8 -8 -8
Em-an-ci-pate yourselves from mental slavery;
+8 +8 +8 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7
None but ourselves can free our minds.
-7 -7 -7 -6 +6 +6 +7 -7 -7
Have no fear for atomic e-ner-gy,
+6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6 -6
Cause none of them can stop the time.
-7 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7 -8 -8
How long shall they kill our prophets,
+8 +8 +8 -8 +7 -7 +7
While we stand aside and look
-7 -7 -6 +6 +7 -6 -7 -7
Some say it’s just a part of it:
-7 -7 -7 +6 +6 -6 -6
We’ve got to fulfil the book.

-7 -8 -7 -6 +6
Won’t you help to sing
+6 -7 -6 -6 +6
These songs of freedom

Cause all I ev-er have

-3* -5* -5* -5 -5* 7 -7*
There once lived an In-dian maid
-5* 7* 7* -8* -9* -8* -7*
A shy lit-tle prai-rie maid
7 7* 7*7 -6 7* 7 7 -6 -5*
Who sang a lay, a love song gay
7 -6 5 -5 -5*
As on the plain she’d
-6 7 -6 -5 -3*
while a-way the day
-3* -5* -5*-5 -5* 7 -7*
She loved a war-rior bold
-5* 7* 7* 8 -9* 8 -7*
This shy lit-tle maid of old
7 7* 7*7 -6 7* 7 7-6 -5*
But brave and gay, he rode one day

To bat-tle far a-way

Now, the moon shines to-night
-9* -9 8 -7* 7

the night bird’s cry-ing
-9* -9 9 9 -8 9
For a-far neath his star
-9* -9 8 -7* 7
her brave is sleep-ing
-7* 8 -7* -7* -6
While Red Wing’s weep-ing
7* 7 -6 -5*
her heart a-way

 

She watched thru the day and night
She kept all the campfiles bright
And under the sky,
each night she would lie
And dream about his coming by and by
But when all the braves returned
The heart of Red Wing yearned
For Brave one day, her warrior gay
Fell bravely in the fray

-9* -9 9 9 -8 9
Now, the moon shines to-night

Red Wing (banjo part)

This is the Banjo part of the song, the numbers in parenthesis are
played at the same time, some of these are not playable the way they
are, so it is up to the individual player to play them as they see
best. The -2 and the 3 are the same note so you may adjust these
also, I used whichever one seemed appropriate with the surrounding
notes.

Red Solo Cup (tremolo)

This is tabbed for a 24 hole Echo Celeste tremolo

The first chorus is in the key of A, the rest of the song changes to the key of B.

Now a red solo cup is the best receptacle
For barbecues, tailgates,
Fairs and festivals
And you, sir,
Do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinking from glass

A red solo cup is cheap and disposable
And in 14 years they are decomposable
And unlike my home,
They are not foreclosable
Freddie-Mac can kiss my a*s. Woo!

6 -6 7 8 6 -6 7 8

6 6 7 6 -6 7 8 6 -6 7 8
I love you red so-lo cup, I lift you up
9 9 8 9 -9 9 9 9 9 -9
Proceed to party, proceed to party

Now I really love how you’re easy to stack
But I really hate how you’re easy to crack
Cuz when beer runs down
In front of my pack
Well that my friends is quite yucky

But I have to admit the ladies get smitten
Admiring how sharply
My first name is written
On you with a sharpie
When I get to hittin’
On them to help me get lucky

(Chorus)

Now I’ve seen you in blue
And I’ve seen you in yellow
But only you, red, will do for this fellow
Cuz you are the Abbot to my Costello
And you are the fruit to my loom

Red solo cup,
You’re more than just plastic
You’re more than amazing
You’re more than fantastic
And believe me that
I’m not the least bit sarcastic
When i look at you and say:

«Red solo cup, you’re not just a cup.
(No, no, God no!)
You’re my, you’re my (friend?) friend. (life long!)
Thank you for being my friend.»

Proceed to party, proceed to party

Now I really love how you’re easy to stack
But I really hate how you’re easy to crack
Cuz when beer runs down
In front of my pack
Well that my friends is quite yucky

But I have to admit the ladies get smitten
Admiring how sharply
My first name is written
On you with a sharpie
When I get to hittin’
On them to help me get lucky

(Chorus)

Now I’ve seen you in blue
And I’ve seen you in yellow
But only you, red, will do for this fellow
Cuz you are the Abbot to my Costello
And you are the fruit to my loom

Red solo cup,
You’re more than just plastic
You’re more than amazing
You’re more than fantastic
And believe me that
I’m not the least bit sarcastic
When i look at you and say:

«Red solo cup, you’re not just a cup.
(No, no, God no!)
You’re my, you’re my (friend?) friend. (life long!)
Thank you for being my friend.»

-5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -5 -5
All that we can do is just survive
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 4 4 4 5 -5 5 -4
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
-5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -5 -5
All that we can do is just survive
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 4 4 4 4 5 -5 5 -4
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

-6 -6 -6 6 5 5 -4
Ragged lines of ragged grey
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 6 -4
Skeletons, they shuffle away
-4 -4 -4 4 -4 5 -4
Shouting guards and smoking guns
3 -4 4 -4 4 5 -3” -3”
Will cut down the unlucky ones

-5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 -3” -3 -3 -3
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
3 4 4 4 -4 4
A wound that will not heal
3 4 4 4 -4 4
A heart that cannot feel
-4 4 4 4 -5 4 -4 4 -3
Hoping that the horror will recede
-3 4 4 4 -4 4 4 -4 4 5 -4 4
Hoping that tomorrow we’ll all be freed

-6 -6 -6 6 5 5 5
Sickness to insanity
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -4
Prayer to profanity
-4 -4 -4 4 -4 5 -4
Days and weeks and months go by
4 -4 4 -4 -4 4 5 -3” -3”
Don’t feel the hunger — Too weak to cry

-5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 5 -3 -3 -3
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
-3 -3 4 4 4 -4 4
Are the liberators here?
4 4 4 4 4 -4 4
Do I hope or do I fear?
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 -3
For my father and my brother, it’s too late
-1 4 4 4 4 -4 4 -4 5 -3”
But I must help my mother stand up straight

-5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5 -5 -5
Are we the last ones left alive?
-5 -5 -5 -5 4 4 4 4 5 -5 5 -4
Are we the only human beings to survive?

-5 -5 -5 6 -5 -5 -5 -5
Are we the last ones left alive?

Are we the only human beings to survive?

Do I hope or do I fear?

And the cowboy that’s loved you so true

For a long time, my darlin’, I’ve waited
For the sweet words you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say that you’re going away

Then come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy that’s loved you so true

I’ve been thinking a long time my darling,
of the sweet words you never would say,
now alas must my fond hopes all vanish,
for they say you are going away.

Do you think of the valley you’re leaving,
O how lonely and how dreary it will be,
and do you think of the kind hearts you’re breaking,
and the pain you are causing to me.

They will bury me where you have wandered,
near the hills where the daffodils grow,
when you’re gone from the red river valley,
for I can’t live without you I know.

Red River Shore

Red River Shore

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
Some of us turn off the lights and we live
5 5 5 7 7 -7 -6
In the moonlight shooting by
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
5 5 5 5 -5 5 -4
To be where the angels fly

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4
Pretty maids all in a row lined up
7 7 7 7 -7 -6
Outside my cabin door
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
I’ve never wanted any of them wanting me
5 5 5 5 5 -5 5 -4 4
‘cept the girl from the red river shore

Well I sat by her side and for awhile I tried
To make that girl my wife
She gave me her best advice and she said
«Go home and lead a quiet life»

Well I’ve been to the east and I’ve been to the west
And I’ve been out where the black winds roar
Somehow though I never did get that far
With the girl from the red river shore

Well I knew when I first laid eyes on her
I could never be free
One look at her and I knew right away
She should always be with me

Well the dream dried up a long time ago
Don’t know where it is anymore
True to life, true to me
Was the girl from the red river shore

Well I’m wearing the cloak of misery
And I’ve tasted jilted love
And the frozen smile upon my face
Fits me like a glove

Well I can’t escape from the memory
Of the one that I’ll always adore
All those nights when I lay in the arms
Of the girl from the red river shore

Well we’re living in the shadows of a fading past
Trapped in the fires of time
I’ve tried not to ever hurt anybody
And to stay out of the life of crime

And when it’s all been said and done
I never did know the score
One more day is another day away
From the girl from the red river shore

Well I’m a stranger here in a strange land
But I know this is where I belong
I ramble and gamble for the one I love
And the hills will give me a song

Though nothing looks familiar to me
I know I’ve stayed here before
Once a thousand nights ago
With the girl from the red river shore

Well I went back to see about her once
Went back to straighten it out
Everybody that I talked to had seen us there
Said they didn’t know who I was talking about

Well the sun went down on me a long time ago
I’ve had to pull back from the door
I wish I could’ve spent every hour of my life
With the girl from the red river shore

Now I’ve heard about a guy who lived a long time ago
A man full of sorrow and strife
That if someone around him died and was dead
He knew how to bring him on back to life

Well I don’t know what kind of language he used
Or if they do that kind of thing anymore
Sometimes I think nobody ever saw me here at all
‘Cept the girl from the red river shore
