Velvet by Stoney LaRue
Velvet
Capo 3
D, Em7, G, D, D, Em7, D
VERSE 1:
Em7 G D Em7
Here I walk, an empty shell even though
G D Em7
It's hard to tell this lonesome hand
G D
It's taken it's toll and I just don't know how far it can go
CHORUS:
D Em7
Well come down and watch your first step
G D
Don't do anything you might regret
D Em7 G D
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
D Em7
It wasn't all sunny days
G D
Picking through your memories
D Em7 G D
Oh the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
Cadd9 G D
Oh you covered me in velvet
**CONTINUE PATTERN**
VERSE 2:
There you are it's like a song I heard
In a smoky bar where the whiskey stirred
Just like my heart and it's dancing alone
And it seems like it just won't ever end
CHORUS:
Well come down and watch your first step
Don't do anything you might regret
Cause you're just much too innocent to suffer
It wasn't all sunny days
Picking through your memories
Oh the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
Oh you covered me in velvet
Another turn, another cautious step
Will we ever learn just how lonesome can get
You caught me running, running away
And I just don't know how long I can stay
CHORUS:
Well come down and watch your first step
Don't do anything you might regret
Cause you're much too innocent to suffer
And it wasn't all sunny days
Picking through your memories
Oh the rain came down and you covered me in velvet
Oh you covered me in velvet
Oh you covered me in velvet
In velvet
In velvet

version 2
If you want it to sound almost exactly like the song tune down a half step. If you don't want to that's
fine too. If you don't know how to tune down a half step, all you have to do is go down into flats such as...
(From Low E♭ to high E♭)
E♭
A♭
D♭
G♭(f#)
B♭
E♭
(INTRO)
(top is high,bottom is low)
(D) Strum Twice. Strum Twice. Strum Twice.
