Any suggestions on how to improve this song/whether you think its good or bad are welcome.  My instincts tell me its too repetitive, but what do you think?

Red, deep red

G                                         Em   
Red, deep red is the colour....  
G       D      G
The colour of my loves hair
G         Em
I long for her so but her lover
G   d      g
Well her lover, he ain’t all there

G         C
Yes he’s a hard man
   G
That’s for certain
G   D   G
He’s a rich man too
           Em
But he don’t love you
   G
He don’t love you
D
And I do

C
I saw him raise his hand
Em
And heard it run aground
G   D   G
It chilled me to the bone
C          Em
I’d almost forgot about you
G   D   G
And forsook your earthen throne

G                                         Em   
Red, deep red is the colour....  
G       D      G
The colour of my loves hair
G         Em
I long for her so but her lover
G   D   G   
He wears a manic stare

G          C

Yes he’s a bad man
   G
That’s for certain
G   D   G
He’s even got his own crew
      Em
But he don’t love you
   G
No he don’t love you
D
Like I do

C
I heard him raise a noise
Em
You never had a choice
G   D   G
It made you feel alone
C      Em
I swore id stay around you
G   D   G
Until you felt at home

G                                         Em   
Red deep red is the colour...
G      D   G
The colour of my loves hair
G         Em
I long for her so but her lover
G   D      G
Her lover refuses to share

G                                         C   
Yes he’s the big man
   G
That’s for certain
G   D   G   
He’s even got a shank and a 2
      Em
But he don’t love you
   G
No he don’t love you
D
And I do

But it never seems to matter to you

G                                         Em
Red, deep red, is the colour....  
G   D      G
The colour of your hair
G         Em
I long for you so but your lover
G   D      G
Won’t stand you standing there

G      C
But I’m a hard man
   G
That’s for certain
G      D      G
And we’ve only got each other to lose
           Em
And I love you
   G
You know I love you
D
And I do

G                                         Em
Red, deep red, is the colour....  
G   D   G
the colour of my loves hair
G         Em
I long for her so and her lover
G      D      G
Her old lover continues to glare
