Girl In Blue Velvet Band chords by Doc Watson


Doc Watson Chords


THE GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND
Recorded by Doc Watson
Written by Cliff Carlisle and Mel Foree

One [C] night while [G] out for a [C] ramble
The [F] hour was just about [C] nine
I [F] met a young maiden in [C] 'Frisco
On the corner of [G] Cherry and [C] Pine.

On her face there was beauty of nature
And in it, her eyes seem to expand
Her hair was so rich and so brilliant
Entwined in a BLUE VELVET BAND.

We strolled down the long street together
In my pocket she placed a small hand
Planted the evidence on me
That GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND.

Then I heard the wild scream of the sirens
And the GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND
She left me to face all the troubles
With a diamond that was worth ten grand.

They sent me to San Quenton for stealin'
And God knows I'm an innocent man
For the guilty one now she lies dyin'
That GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND.

CHORUS
I'll be out in a year then I'm leavin'
But I'll carry the name of a man
Who spent ten years in this prison
For THE GIRL IN THE BLUE VELVET BAND.

Last night while bedtime was ringin'
I was standin' close to the bars
I fancied I could hear her voice callin'
>From far out on the ocean of stars.

REPEAT CHORUS
