RED VELVET
G A D C
Four months ago in April, on a day-coach she came down
G D G D
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
G A D C
I should'a known I couldn't hold her livin' out so far from town
G D G D
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
F C D G
If I'd had known, before we kissed,
C D D7 G
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
C D G F
Well now she's up and left me she went walkin' down the line
C G C G
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
G A D C
All dressed up in red velvet & her high-heeled shoes so fine
G D G
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
C D G F
Well I'll sit & count the December stars, while they dance around
C G C G
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
C D G F
Then I'll call my dog & I?ll take the truck & I ride on into town
C G C G
And the nights to come are long & slow to go
F C D G
If I'd only known, before we kissed,
C D D7 G
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
C D G F
Well now she's up and left me she went walkin' down the line
C G C G
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
G A D C
All dressed up in red velvet & her high-heeled shoes so fine
G D G
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
