      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

        F        C        D       G
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
