  Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten

  from the album Songs For A Blue Guitar 

  released 1996 Island Records

  written by Mark Kozelek

  transcribed by Brian Fenton (fentonb@mathds1.ul.ie)

  

  C               F              G            Am    G    F

  I can't let you be, cause your beauty won't allow me

  C                F       

  wrapped in white sheets, 

          G            Am      G   F

  like an angel from a bedtime story

      G                  Am   

  and shut out what they say, 

             F                     Am G F

  cause your friends are fucked up anyway

      G              Am      

  and when they come around, 

          F                Am  G    F

  somehow they feel up and you feel down.

  

  (same chords as above for the next verse:)

  When we were kids, we hated things our parents did

  we listened low to Casey Kasem's radio show

  that's when friends were nice, 

  to think of them just makes you feel nice

  the smell of grass in spring 

  and October leaves cover everything.

  

  C          G              Am G     F   

  Have you forgotten how to love yourself? x2

  

  I can't believe all the good things that you do for me

  sat back in a chair like a princess from a faraway place

  nobody's nice, when you're older your heart turns to ice

  and shut out what they say; 

  they're too dumb to mean it anyway

  

  When we were kids, we hated things our sisters did

  backyard summer pools and christmases were beautiful

  and the sentiment of coloured mirrored ornaments

  and the open drapes 

  look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes

  

  Have you forgotten how to love yourself? x6

  

  =====================

  

  This is played with a capo on the 3rd fret.

  The F chord at all times is played with an open E string

  (the light E string, not the heavy one).

  In the chorus, he plays the barred C and G shapes i.e.

  the C is played at the 11th fret etc.

  

  In the verse, for the C chord pull off the E note to a D,

  and for the first F chord pull off the A note to a G.

  

  The F that ends each line has a little bit that goes

  E-F-D-E  on the D string. It's easy.

  

  The one part I wasn't 100% sure about is the first F in the

  3rd and 4th lines of each verse. An F seems to work

  fine, but on the record, you can hear a B note from

  the bass. I guess it's just another of those brilliant

  Red House Painter things! Genius! I'm sticking to my

  F though.
