All Mixed Up Tab by Red House Painters


Red House Painters - All Mixed Up
Album: Songs For A Blue Guitar

This is my favorite RHP song, and it has never had a decent tab.
I just saw Mark play this song live, and he played with a capo 3.
I don't know what tuning he was using, but here is what I've figured out.

Tuning: DADGAD

she shadows me in the mirror
she never leaves on the light
and some things that i say to her
they just don't seem to bite

it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up

she tricks me into thinking
that i can't believe my eyes
that i wait for her forever
but she never does arrive

it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up

she says to leave it to me
and everything will be allright
she says to leave it to me
and everything will be allright

she's always out making pictures
she's always out making scenes
she's always out the window
when it comes to making dreams

it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
it's all mixed up
