Status Quo - Velvet Train Chords

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
D5  x57xxx


OK, lets go for it...

I got me a ticket

packed my case

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

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
