Red Velvet

     G             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’a known I couldn’t hold 
          D               C
her livin’ out so far from town
        G                  D      
And the nights to come are long 
          G      D
and slow to go

     G                A           
Well now she’s up and left me and 
     D                C
went walkin’ down the line
        G            D            
And the dusty autumn winds begin 
  G      D
to blow
    G                 A            
All dressed up in red velvet & her 
D                    C
high-heeled shoes so fine
        G                  D      
And the nights to come are long 
          G
and slow to go

        F        C        D       
Well if I’d only known, before we 
G
kissed, that
C                  D           
You can’t keep red velvet on a 
D7                  G     G7
poor dirt farm like this
   C                  D           
So now she’s gone and left me & 
   G                F
went walkin’ down the line
        C            G            
And the dusty autumn winds begin 
  C     G
to blow

          C               D       
Well I’ll sit & count the evening 
       G             F
stars, as they walk around
         C            G           
When the dusty autumn winds begin 
   C    G
to blow
          C             D      
Then I’ll call my dog & take the 
          G             F
truck & drive on into town
           C                  G   
‘Cause the nights to come are long
           C    G
 & slow to go

          C               D       
Well I’ll sit & count the evening 
       G              F
stars, as they walk around
        C            G            
And the dusty autumn winds begin 
  C     G
to blow
          C             D      
Then I’ll call my dog & take the 
          G             F
truck & drive on into town
           C                  G   
‘Cause the nights to come are long
           C   G
 & slow to go

          C            G          
And those dusty autumn winds,  be
