Tom: C#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
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 (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.
