Cotton And Velvet chords by Cotton Jones

Chords with lyrics

This version of the song is from the "Halfway House Sessions" which can be found here:

The D MajorD is only one beat and he does a little riff with his index finger while strumming the G.
Otherwise the song is pretty straightforward if you listen to it.

Standard tuning. CAPO on 2nd

Intro & timing (pattern continues through song): Em//// /// D/ G//// ////

I was dreamin' of ships in the evenin' sun.

My tongue on the ocean, made me feel all numb.

There was no sadness, honey nothing was wrong.
E minorEm           D MajorD  G+G
Just cotton and velvet you know I need not a song.

C majorC                D MajorD  G+G
Now the poet barks, got a mouth full of stars,
C majorC                    D MajorD  G+G
says you better find someone before it's too dark.

E minorEm        D MajorD  G+G
Oh, milky flowers under the sun.
