Velvety

            B                   E       B
 Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed
        G#                    F#          E
 Just a little bit south of a town called Weed
B                        E      B
 I heard her voice and I had to stop
     G#                   F#       E
 She called me on to that mountain top
       B                     E     B
 I'm a poor soul lost in the shady trees
       G#                 F#        E
 I was going to die I was going to freeze
      F#          G#m
 When she touched me
F#            B   E   A   D
 She was velvety
         F#                                        B   E  A   D
 She's a cat of a creature, don't care, she's Velvety
               F#               B*  E   B   B*   A   B
 She makes the strangest sounds

            B                   E       B
 She was an island girl of the ancient line
          G#                    F#        E
 When the whole damn thing sank into the brine
 B                   E        B
 Her true lover from her was torn
G#                   F#    E
 She packed it up to Californ'
      F#      G#m
 Then she met me
F#          B   E   A  D
 She's Velvety
         F#                                         B   E   A  D
 She's a cat of a creature, don't care, she's Velvety
               F#               B*  E   B   B*   A   B
 She makes the strangest sounds

F#  G#m

            B                   E       B
 Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed
        G#                     F#          E
 Just a little bit south of a town called Weed
       F#   G#m
 I met Velvety
F#        B   E  A  D
 My Velvety
   F#                                     B   E   A   D
 I like that lemur I lick it that's Velvety
             F#
 She makes a pretty sound

[Outro]

B*  E   B   B*   A   B  (x2)


* on this 'B' Frank does a sliding thing in from an A barre chord.

And for the G#, it might be minor during the verses but it doesn't
seem like it. It's almost as if it could swing both ways.

A little insiders info... or not, maybe everyone already knows this...
This was a Pixies b-side (an instrumental) and Frank originally wrote
this song when he was about 15.
