[Verse 1]
Four [G]months ago in [A]April on [D]a
daycoach she came [C]down
And [G]the dust autumn [D]winds
begin [G]to [D]blow
Shoulda [G]known I couldn't [A]hold
livin' [D]out so far from [C]town
And the [G]nights to come are
[D]long are slow to [G]go
Well now she's up and [A]left me and
when [D]walkin' down the [C]line
And the [G]dusty autumn
[D]wind begins to [G]blow[D]
All [G]dressed up in red [A]velvet and
he [D]high heeled shoes so [C]fine
And the [G]nights to come
[D]are long and slow to [G]go

[Verse 2]
Well if [F]I had only k[C]now
be[D]fore we [G]kissed
[C]You can't keep red [F]velvet on
a [D]poor dirt farm like [G]this

Oh [C]now she's gone and [D]left me and
went [G]walkin' down the [F]line
And the [C]dusty autumn [G]winds begin to blow

[Verse 4]
Well I'll [G]sit and count the [A]evening
stars [D]as they walk [C]around
When the [G]dusty autumn
[D]winds begin to [G]blow[D]
Then [G]I'll call my dog and I'll [A]take
the truck and I'll [D]drive on into [C]town
Cause the [G]nights to come
[D]are long and slow to go
[G]

and I'll [D]drive on into [C]town

[D]are long and slow to [G]go
And those dusty autumn
[F]winds be [Am]gin to blow
