Baby’s a Red House of Heroes
Baby's a Red
By: House of Heroes
Standard tuning
Capo 5 (or w/o capo played in D, I just like the chords better in A)
Love this song, but I couldnt find it charted out anywhere, so heres my best shot at it. Enjoy!
I wrote out the chords that might be different from usual...the rest are
just normal. This is how I play it, and it works pretty well with the track.
[C#m] [D2/F#] [E/D]
E|---0------0------0---| B|---5------3------3---| G|---6------2------1---| D|---6------0------2---| A|---4------0------2---| E|---4------2------0---|
Verse 1:
[A]Ooh, ooh, little red, with your [C#m]heart in Stalingrad
Oh, it [D2/F#]kills me how they hate you, but they j[E/D]ust dont understand

Though we [D2/F#]differ on religion, we [E/D]both support the working man
[A]Oh, oh-oh, red, if [C#m]the bombs fall on our lands
Then our [D2/F#]politics won't matter...[E/D]only that I loved you until [A]death
