D A7 D
One evening while out for a ramble
G D
the hour was just about nine
G D
i met a young maiden in Frisco
A7 D
On the corner of Cherry and Pine
[Verse 2]
A7 D
On her face there was beauty of nature
G D
And her eyes seem to expand
G D
Her hair so rich and so brilliant
A7 D
Was entwined in a blue velvet band
[Verse 3]
A7 D
We strolled down the street together
G D
In my pocket she placed her small hand
G D
She planted the evidence on me
A7 D
A diamond that was worth ten grand
[Bridge]
[Verse 4]
A7 D
Well I heard the scream of the sirens
G D
And the girl in the blue velvet band
G D
She left me to face all the troubles
A7 D
With a diamond that was worth ten grand
[Verse 5]
A7 D
They sent me to San Quentin for stealing
G D
God knows I’m an innocent man
G D
But the guilty one now she lies dying
A7 D
My girl in the blue velvet band
[Verse 6]
A7 D
At night when bedtime is ringing
G D
i stand looking out through the bars
G D
i fancy I hear her voice calling
A7 D
Far out on that ocean of stars
[Verse 7]
A7 D
i’ll be out in a week and I’m leaving
G C
But I’ll carry that name of a man
G D
Who spent ten years in prison
A7 D
For the girl in the blue velvet band
[Verse 8]
A7 D
When I get out I will endeavor
G D
To live in some far distant land
G D
I’ll bid farewell to old Frisco
A7 D
And the girl in the blue velvet band
