Red Velvet

[INTRO:] G

[VERSE 1:]
                   A          
Four months ago in April, on a 
 D                  C
day-coach she came down
        G            D            
And the dusty autumn winds begin 
  G     D
to blow
            G                A    
I should've known I couldn't hold 
            D               C
her, living out so far from town
        G                  D      
And the nights to come are long 
          G
and slow to go


[VERSE 2:]
                       A           
Well, now she's up and left me and 
     D                C
went walking down the line
        G            D            
And the dusty autumn winds begin 
  G     D
to blow
    G                 A           
All dressed up in red velvet and 
   D                    C
her high heeled shoes so fine
        G                  D      
And the nights to come are long 
          G
and slow to go

Well, if I had only known before 
   G
we kissed
C                  F           D
You can't keep red velvet on a 
                   G
poor dirt farm like this
     C                  D         
Ohh, now she's gone and left me 
       G                F
and went walking down the line
        C            G            
And the dusty autumn winds begin 
  C
to blow

[VERSE 3:]
           G                 A    
Well, I'll sit and count the 
         D             C
evening stars as they walk around
         G            D           
When the dusty autumn winds begin 
   G     D
to blow
          G                    A  
Then I'll call my dog and I'll 
                     D          
take the truck and I'll drive on 
   C
into town
           G                  D   
'Cause the nights to come are long
             G
 and slow to go

Then I'll call my dog and I'll

take the truck and I'll drive on 
   C
into town
    G                  D          
The nights to come are long and

slow to go

 to blow
