Chord/Tab song: Velvet Train

Status Quo
TPAOY 2005

For 'MIQNO' of the SQMB.
Firstly, some explaining must be done.
The intro does not actually consist of chords - just harmonic
intervals, so the naming of the chord is not to be taken literally.
As these intervals only consist of two notes (also known as diads)
the chord is simplified - a lot.
In fact, all the chords should be played as root
and fifths (also known as 'power chords').

Chords for intro:

Cb5 x34xxx
C5 x35xxx
B+5 x25xxx
B5 x24xxx

OK, lets go for it...

[D]I got me a ticket

packed my case

put my best suit on
and I washed my face[C][C#][D]

short on spending money

but the champagne's complimentary

now look this ticket's for 2 is there a chance that you would


ride with me honey on the velvet train
ride with me honey on the velvet train
ride with me honey on the velvet train
ride with me honey on the velvet train


we be leaving when you're ready
if you just say yes
rolling down the line
destination happiness


tell me this and tell me no more

are you riding with me I got to know for sure

we can rock and roll and save our souls

so before we get too old


ride with me honey on the velvet train
ride with me honey on the velvet train
