Red Rover

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse]
             C          F
She said red rover, red rover
     G
Send my love right over,
  Am       F          G
I feel far away and I miss when we were closer
       Am            F         C       G
I said darling don't hold your breath
            Am    G     C     G
I've got an anvil on my chest
              Dm
She said come closer
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am     F
Red rover,
    C      G
Red rover,
    Am     F
Red rover
         C
Before I broke her
             G
She said red rover
 
 
[Verse]
    Am                             F
How precious are the hands that we hold
C                                 G
Marching towards the bonds of the unknown
    Am                         F
And you and I held tight as we could
   C                                      G
My fingers flames on your palms of forest wood
                  Dm
And she said come closer
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am     F
Red rover,
    C      G
Red rover,
    Am     F
Red rover
         C
Before I broke her
             G
She said red rover
 
Am  F  C  G
 
 
[Bridge]
             Dm
Babe I'm the place you go to hide
 
I'm the bullet in your side
        Am
I'm the knife that cuts you red
 
I'm the scar that you regret
        F
I'm the chain that holds you back
 
I'm the train and you're the track
        C
I'm the hammer you're the nail
 
I'm the bones that keep you frail
       Dm
Don't ask me to come closer
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am     F
Red rover,
    C      G
Red rover,
    Am     F
Red rover
         C
Before I broke her
             G
She said red rover
 
    Am     F
Red rover,
    C      G
Red rover,
    Am     F
Red rover
         C
Before I broke her
             G
She said red rover
