Red Velvet
by Ian Tyson
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
G A D C
Well now she’s up and left me and went walkin’ down the line
G D G D
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

Well if I’d only known, before we kissed, that
C D D7 G G7
You can’t keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
C D G F
So now she’s gone and left me & went walkin’ down the line
C G C G
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
C D G F
Well I’ll sit & count the evening stars, as they walk around
C G C G
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
C D G F
Then I’ll call my dog & take the truck & drive on into town
C G C G
‘Cause the nights to come are long & slow to go
C D G F
Well I’ll sit & count the evening stars, as they walk around
C G C G
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
C D G F
Then I’ll call my dog & take the truck & drive on into town
C G C G
‘Cause the nights to come are long & slow to go
C G C
And those dusty autumn winds, be - gin to blow
