Won't you have my company, yes take it in you hands go down to velvet green with a country man
[G]Who's a young girls fancy and an [F]old maid's dream.[G]
Bb c Gsus2 F
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green.
[Gsus2]One dusky half-hour's r[F]ide up to the north[G].
There lies your reputat[F]ion and all that you're [G]worth.
[Gm]Where the scent of wild roses [F]turns the milk to [G]cream.
[Bb]Tell your mother that you walked all [C]night on velvet green.[Gsus2] [F] [Gsus2]
And the long grass blows in [F]the evening cool[G].
And August's rare delight [F]may be April's fool[G].
[Gm]But think not of that, my love,
[F]I'm tight against the seam.[G]
[Bb]And I'm going up to meet yo[C]u down on velvet green.[Gsus2] [F]

[G]Now I may tell you that it's [F]love and not just lust[G].
And if we live the lie[F], let's lie in tru[G]st.
[Gm]On golden daffodils, [F]to catch the silver stream[G]
[Bb]that washes out the wild [C]oat seed on velvet green[Gsus2].[F] [Gsus2]
We'll dream as lovers [F]under the stars [G]---
of civilizations [F]raging afar.[G]
And the ragged dawn breaks on your b[F]attle scars.[G]
[Bb]As you walk home cold and[C] alone upon velvet green.[Gsus2] [F]
