GADC
Four months ago in April, on a day-coach she came down
GDGD
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
GADC
I should’a known I couldn’t hold her livin’ out so far from town
GDGD
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
GADC
Well now she’s up and left me and went walkin’ down the line
GDGD
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
GADC
All dressed up in red velvet & her high-heeled shoes so fine
GDG
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
FCDG
Well if I’d only known, before we kissed, that
CDD7GG7
You can’t keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
CDGF
So now she’s gone and left me & went walkin’ down the line
CGCG
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
CDGF
Well I’ll sit & count the evening stars, as they walk around
CGCG
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
CDGF
Then I’ll call my dog & take the truck & drive on into town
CGCG
‘Cause the nights to come are long & slow to go
CDGF
Well I’ll sit & count the evening stars, as they walk around
CGCG
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
CDGF
Then I’ll call my dog & take the truck & drive on into town
CGCG
‘Cause the nights to come are long & slow to go
CGC
And those dusty autumn winds, be - gin to blow
