Babys A Red


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.
