Biography:
Red House Painters was an alternative rock band from San Francisco, CA, United States, formed in 1989 by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, who is currently active in the band Sun Kil Moon, with part of the original RHP line-up.
The band is described, along with Low and American Music Club, as one of the linchpins of the slowcore movement in alternative rock. Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair, pain and suffering.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is based on the chords that are found on blueguitar.info, a bible for all things related to
Mark Kozelek and guitar playing. However this version is simplified and transposed to standard tuning.
I like to hammer-on and hammer-off the 2nd fret of the D string when I play the C chord and the Em add(#5)
chord (essentially going from C to Cadd2 and Em add(#5) to Em7 add(#5) respectively) and to hammer-on and
hammer-off the 2nd fret of the G string when I play the Fmaj7 chord (going between Fmaj7 and Fmaj9sus2).

[Intro]
C Emadd(#5) Fmaj9sus2
[Verse]
C Emadd(#5) Fmaj9sus2
a rare and blistering sun shines down on Grace Cathedral Park
C Emadd(#5) Fmaj9sus2
there with you I fear the time when air gets dark
C Emadd(#5) Fmaj9sus2
you know I don't spend days like
C Emadd(#5) Fmaj9sus2
this caught up in lost times of youth that iImiss
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
I can almost hear rollercoasters
Fmaj7 Am Emadd(#5)
see sailboats in the sea
Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
hear noise and screaming weaving in and out of
G6/11
happy music box sounds
[Bridge]
Eb5 D5
But here on the ground
C5 Bb5 F5 E5
we're so far away from that
Eb5 D5 C5 Bb5
time turned older now
[Verse]
C Emadd(#5)
We walked down the hill
Fmaj9sus2
I feel the coming on of the fading sun
C Emadd(#5)
and I know for sure
Fmaj9sus2
that you'll never be the one
C Emadd(#5)
it's the forbidden moment that we live
Fmaj9sus2
that fires our sad escape
C Emadd(#5)
and holds passion more than
Fmaj9sus2
words can say
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
tell me why are you like this
Fmaj7 Am Emadd(#5)
are you the same with anyone?
Fmaj7 Am
save me from my sickness and tell me
Fmaj7 Am Emadd(#5)
why do you treat me like?
Fmaj7 Am
tell me why are you like this
Fmaj7 Am Emadd(#5)
are you the same with anyone?
Fmaj7 Am
save me from my sickness and tell me
Fmaj7
why are you like this
G6/11
why are you like this
