[INTRO:] G [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 

        C            G              C
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C D G F C G C G C D G F C G C D [VERSE 3:]
           G                 A             D             C
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 

          G                    A                       D             C
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:]
                             A             D             C
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 

          G                    A                       D             C
Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll drive on into town 

    G                  D                G 
The nights to come are long and slow to go
[OUTRO:]
                       F       Am     G
And those dusty autumn winds begin to blow
