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

[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.
