     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 

    F      C        D       G 
If I'd had known, before we kissed,  
C                  D           D7                  G       
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this 
     C                D                G                F 
Well now she's up and left me she went walkin' down the line 
        C            G              C     G 
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 

          C               D              G                F 
Well I'll sit & count the December stars, while they dance around 
        C            G              C    G 
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow 
          C                  D                  G             F 
Then I'll call my dog & I?ll take the truck & I ride on into town 
        C                  G              C    G 
And the nights to come are long & slow to go 

    F        C        D       G 
If I'd only known, before we kissed,  
C                  D           D7                  G       
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this 
     C                D                G                F 
Well now she's up and left me she went walkin' down the line 
        C            G              C     G 
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
