Red Violins Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]There is no use to holler, no use to cry.
Twenty [F]pounds of curses
came to visit [C]me tonight.
Salt for all the cuts,
blankets for the cold.
Prayer[F]s to keep the devil far
away from [C]those I love.
And there were red violins,
playing in my dreams.
[F]One for me and two for me,
and [C]one at Jesus' feet.
And [G]one I only [F]reach to for sympathy.
[C]

[Verse 2]
And if you [Am]want it, then you [F]want it.
For when [C]you're falling
on [G]your knees.
I seen you [Am]howling now,
you water [F]at the mouth.
I seen [C]you fawn and faint in [G]need.
Are there [F]red [G]violins
playing you [C]sleep?

[Verse 3]
[C]Chariot swing low, if you come for me.
[F]Ain't it now,
the strangest sound [C]we call on for relief?
Look at the all these people
clapping steady to the beat,
Of the [F]ambulances on their way [C]to me

[Verse 4]
So if you [Am]wanna, then you [F]wanna.
Everybody [C]pays the price [G]to feed.
And since you're [Am]howling now,
you're foaming [F]at the mouth
And since [C]you're struck
right off your [G]feet.
I'll play [F]red violin[G]s

[Verse 5]
And you are [F]now of my exist[G]ence,
You're part of [C]that which still [Am]remains.
And you're [F]lingering like
[G]fingered strings,
I seem [C]to call on to feel [Am]the pain.
On [C]red viol[F]ins, on [C]red [F]violins.
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]And if you wanna[Am], then you wanna[F].
Can't [C]you see me crawling
at your [G]feet?
You see me [Am]howling now,
I'm foaming [F]at the mouth.
Come on and [C]grieve for my dis[G]ease
And there were [Am]red v[F]ioli[C]ns
[G]playing in [Am]my dreams.
[F]The[C]re [G]were red violi[Am]n s[F][C]
[G]playing in my [Am]dreams.[F][C][G]
There were [Am]red v[F]iolins[C].[G]
There were [Am]red v[F]iolins[C].[G]
There were [Am]red v[F]iolins[C].[G]
There were [Am]red v[F]iolin
[C]s pla[G]ying in my dreams.
