G D D There was a narrow road to that old foot path A G D Where the briar tangles into the musky dawn D G D That old abandoned cabin A G D Was the perfect place for forbidden love to hide D G D She was the mayor's eldest daughter A G She had a taste for the fruit of the vine D Bm He was a poor boy down in that holler G D A D And made his livin-in on his homemade wine Chorus: G D Velvet Red, G D Velvet Red A He'd come callin' G Velvet Red G D Velvet Red, G D Velvet Red A She'd come running G Velvet Red Don't you know their love grew like the wild flowers do? She'd start to miss him with an awful thirst And when that sun went down, she'd go sneakin' out And he'd be waitin', callin' out to her Chorus: Velvet red, velvet red Makin' love on velvet red Velvet red, velvet red They were drunk on velvet red There was a child born twenty years ago To a mother who never wed And though she gave no name for the father She called her daughter Little Velvet Red Chorus: Velvet Red, Velvet Red Mama calls me Velvet Red Velvet Red (Velvet Red), Velvet Red (Velvet Red) My mama calls me Velvet Red You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
