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!
If you know this song rhythmically and mechanically, you'll get it down.
First things first. Like most Red House songs, this is in an awesome tuning.
This is called an open D7sus4+9
DADGCE
Capo on 2.
So not to make it sound confusing, but instead of having the tuning in the chord tab,
i'll put the open notes with the capo on in there instead.
The song starts out like this:
F#|--------0----0----0-------------0----|
D |--------9----0----0-------------0----|
A |--------7----4----4-------------0----|
E |--0-----0----5----0-------------2----|
B |--0-----0----0----5---------0h2-2----|
E |--0-----x----0----5------0h2----2----|
That's the main gist for the verses.
The chorus goes like this:
"Down through the dirt you lead us..."
F#|--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0----0-1-0-|
D |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0----0-0-0-|
A |--2-------4------2-------4-----0------2----2-2-2-|
E |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0----0-0-0-|
B |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3----------|
E |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3----------|
"I feel you won't need us..."
F#|--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0-----------------0-1-0-1-0-1--|
D |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0--|
A |--2-------4------2-------4-----0------2-----0-2-0-2-----2-2-2-2-2-2--|
E |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0--|
B |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3-----3-3-3-3------------------|
E |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3-----3-3-3-3------------------|
And back to the main gist of the song for a solo and then the next verse.
Do the above as the song follows...
Now to the fun, jammy part of the song.
"And two yellow eyes remember souls of ancient lies..."
"And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry..."
F#|--0------0---0-1-0-1-0-1----0----------0-1-0-1-0-1--|
D |--0------0---0-0-0-0-0-0----0----------0-0-0-0-0-0--|
A |--0------2---2-2-2-2-2-2----0------2---2-2-2-2-2-2--|
E |--3------0---0-0-0-0-0-0----3------0---0-0-0-0-0-0--|
B |--1------0---0-0-0-0-0-0----1------0----------------|
E |---------0---0-0-0-0-0-0-----------0----------------|
And the end of the song just basically follows the jam session.
Also, if you know that chromatic diddy Mark plays in the jam, here's a fun and easy way
to play it:
(Index finger on 3rd string, middle finger on 2nd string, and play the chromatics with
your ring and pinky fingers)
F#|--0---|----0---0-0-0----0-0-0--0-0-|--1---|
D |--0---|----0---2-3-4----2-3-4--2-4-|--0---|
A |--0---|.---2---2-2-2----2-2-2--2-2-|--3--.|
E |--3---|.---0---0-0-0----0-0-0--0-0-|--3--.|
B |--1---|----0-----------------------|------|
E |------|----0-----------------------|------|
So that's about it. If there are errors at all or if you want to give me a suggestion of
a song you want me to figure out, let me know via e-mail.
Thanks.
