[INTRO]

*        *        (2x)

                                      
 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]

*        *        (2x)


*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.
