Red Velvet Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO:] G

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

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

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

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

[VERSE 4]
Well, I'll sit and count the [A]evening stars [D]as they walk a[C]round
When the [G]dusty autumn [D]winds begin to [G]blow [D]
Then I'll [G]call my dog and I'll [A]take the truck and I'll [D]drive on into [C]town
The [G]nights to come are [D]long and slow to [G]go

[OUTRO]
And those dusty autumn [F]winds be[Am]gin to [G]blow
