This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Red House Painters - All Mixed Up

Album: Songs For A Blue Guitar

This is my favorite RHP song, and it has never had a decent tab.

I just saw Mark play this song live, and he played with a capo 3.

I don't know what tuning he was using, but here is what I've figured out.

Tuning: DADGAD

she shadows me in the mirror

she never leaves on the light

and some things that i say to her

they just don't seem to bite

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

she tricks me into thinking

that i can't believe my eyes

that i wait for her forever

but she never does arrive

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

she says to leave it to me

and everything will be allright

she says to leave it to me

and everything will be allright

she's always out making pictures

she's always out making scenes

she's always out the window

when it comes to making dreams

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up

it's all mixed up
