Velvet Green
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
Em D B7 E B7
Walking on velvet green. Scots pine growing.
E A D
Isn't it rare to be taking the air,
B7 Em Asus2
singing. Walking on velvet green.
Em D Em D
Em D B7 E B7
Walking on velvet green. Distant cows lowing.
E A D
Never a care: with your legs in the air,
B7 Em Asus2
loving. Walking on velvet green.
Em D Em D
[Verse 2]
G F G
Won't you have my company, yes, take it in your hands.
G F G
Go down on velvet green, with a country man.
Gm F Gm
Who's a young girls fancy and an old maid's dream.
Bb C G F
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green.
[Verse 3]
G F G
One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north.
G F G
There lies your reputation and all that you're worth.
Gm F Gm
Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream.
Bb C G F
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green.
[Verse 4]
G F G
And the long grass blows in the evening cool.
G F G
And August's rare delight may be April's fool.
Gm F
But think not of that, my love,
Gm
I'm tight against the seam.
Bb C G F
And I'm growing up to meet you down on velvet green.
[Verse 5]
G F G
Now I may tell you that it's love and not just lust.
G F G
And if we live the lie, let's lie in trust.
Gm F Gm
On golden daffodils, to catch the silver stream
Bb C G F
that washes out the wild oat seed on velvet green.
[Verse 6]
G F G
We'll dream as lovers under the stars ---
G F G
of civilizations raging afar.
Gm F Gm
And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars.
Bb C G F
As you walk home cold and alone upon velvet green.
[Verse 7]
Em D B7 E B7
Walking on velvet green. Scots pine growing.
E A D
Isn't it rare to be taking the air,
B7 Em Asus2
singing. Walking on velvet green.
Em D Em D
Em D B7 E B7
Walking on velvet green. Distant cows lowing.
E A D
Never a care: with your legs in the air,

Walking on Velvet Green
Scotch pine growing
Isn't it rare to be taking the air?
Singing
Walking on Velvet Green
Walking on Velvet Green
Distant cows lowing
Never a care
With your legs in the air
Loving
Walking on Velvet Green
Won't you have my company
Yes, take it in your hands
Go down on Velvet Green with a country man
Who's a young girl's fancy and an old maid's dream
Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green
One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north
There lies your reputation and all that you're worth
Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream
Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green
And the long grass blows in the evening cool
And August's rare delights may be April's fool
But think not of that my love
I'm tight against the seam
And I'm growing up to meet you down on Velvet Green
Now let me tell you that it's love and not just lust
And if we live the lie let's lie in trust
On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream
That washes out the wild oat seed on Velvet Green
We'll dream as lovers under the stars
But civilization's raging afar
And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars
As you walk home cold and alone upon Velvet Green
