Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed

  Just a little bit south of a town called Weed

I heard her voice and I had to stop

  She called me on to that mountain top

  I'm a poor soul lost in the shady trees

  I was going to die I was going to freeze

  When she touched me

She was velvety

  She's a cat of a creature, don't care, she's Velvety

  She makes the strangest sounds

  She was an island girl of the ancient line

  When the whole damn thing sank into the brine

  Her true lover from her was torn

She packed it up to Californ'

  Then she met me

She's Velvety

  She's a cat of a creature, don't care, she's Velvety

  She makes the strangest sounds

Solo

  Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed

  Just a little bit south of a town called Weed

  I met Velvety

My Velvety

  I like that lemur I lick it that's Velvety

  She makes a pretty sound

Outro

*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.
