One evening while out for a ramble

the hour was just about nine

i met a young maiden in Frisco
         A7A7     D MajorD
On the corner of Cherry and Pine


Verse 2:
           A7A7    D MajorD
On her face there was beauty of nature
  G+G        D MajorD
And her eyes seem to expand
  G+G          D MajorD
Her hair so rich and so brilliant
         A7A7     D MajorD
Was entwined in a blue velvet band

Verse 3:

           A7A7   D MajorD
We strolled down the street together
   G+G              D MajorD
In my pocket she placed her small hand
  G+G          D MajorD
She planted the evidence on me
        A7A7      D MajorD
A augmentedA diamond that was worth ten grand

Well I heard the scream of the sirens

And the girl in the blue velvet band

With a diamond that was worth ten grand

Verse 5:

        A7A7       D MajorD
They sent me to San Quentin for stealing

God knows I’m an innocent man
  G+G              D MajorD
But the guilty one now she lies dying
        A7A7     D MajorD
My girl in the blue velvet band


Verse 6:

       A7A7     D MajorD
At night when bedtime is ringing
 G+G               D MajorD
i stand looking out through the bars
 G+G           D MajorD
i fancy I hear her voice calling
        A7A7    D MajorD
Far out on that ocean of stars


Verse 7:

         A7A7      D MajorD
i’ll be out in a week and I’m leaving

But I’ll carry that name of a man

Who spent ten years in prison
          A7A7     D MajorD
For the girl in the blue velvet band

    A7A7       D MajorD
When I get out I will endeavor
  G+G            D MajorD
To live in some far distant land
   G+G          D MajorD
I’ll bid farewell to old Frisco
          A7A7     D MajorD
And the girl in the blue velvet band
