[VERSE 1:]
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've known I couldn't hold her, living out so far from town
G D G
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
[VERSE 2:]
A D C
Well, now she's up and left me and went walking down the line
G D G D
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
G A D C
All dressed up in red velvet and her high heeled shoes so fine
G D G
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
[CHORUS:]
F C D G
Well, if I had only known before we kissed
C F D G
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
C D G F
Ohh, now she's gone and left me and went walking down the line

And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Well, I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
G D G D
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow

Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll drive on into town
G D G
'Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go
[VERSE 4:]

The nights to come are long and slow to go
