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.

Red House Painters - I'm Sorry
Scored by ed [ed] johnson
Should be played with a capo on the 2nd fret
Seems reasonably right to me and is consistent with some of the chords used in other red
painters songs, but any improvements would be appreciated.
