            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

[SOLO] F# G#m E B 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 (2x) *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.
