I love this song. It's fairly simple. The most obvious way to play it is by putting a
on the 1st fret and playing D, A, A7, D, D, D7, Em, E, E7, etc. But I lost my capo.. so
the barre version.
It also has a wonderful dooo-dooo-dooo doodoodoo thing going on between verses and in
beginning.. as in:
E|------6-----6-----6--------|
B|------8-----8-----8--------|
G|------8-----8-----8--------|
D|---------------------------|
A|---6-----5---------------5-|
E|---------------8-----6-8---|

I always play Russian Roulette in my head

How far from the gutter
Fm
How far from the pew
F F7 Bb Bb7
I'll always remember to forget about you
Chorus

A good man is hard to find

Only strangers sleep in my bed

My favorite words are good-bye
Fm Bb Eb
And my favorite color is red
Verse 2
A long dead soldier looks out
From the frame
No one remembers his war; no one
Remembers his name
Verse 3
Go out to the meadow;
Scare off all the crows
It does nothing but rain here,
And nothing will grow
Chorus
A good man is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
My favorite words are good-bye
And my favorite color is
Fm Bb
my favorite color is
Fm Bb Eb
my favorite color is red
