Flaming Red 
Music and Lyrics by Patty Griffin 
From the album "Flaming Red"  
Chords transcribed by Ryan Humbert  / Rhum55pitt@aol.com

( This is the kick ass title song off Patty's second CD. It is a very fast & 
punchy distorted song, but it is fun to play acousticly as well. I am not 
totally sure as to how Patty plays it but this will do just to beat it out on 
the old Gibson or whatever. Have fun and play hard! )

" It isn't a good song unless it's worth breaking a string for."
  
standard tuning 
Capo 1
