Paint Me On Velvet
By Dub Miller
Written By Hank Card & Conrad Deisler
C G
I'm a man of few words but a few is enough
D C G
A man don't have to talk, he just gets up and walks when the going gets rough
C G
I've got feelings down deep, still you think you don't care
D C G
Well I've made up my mind, gon’ to leave you behind and start living out there
Chorus:
C G
So paint me on velvet and do not disguise
D G
The bright silver teardrops that you've brought to these eyes
C Em C
Hang me out by the roadside for the whole world to see
G C G D G
Jesus and Elvis, the Confederate flag and Willie and me
Ran away to a motel but before I checked in
Met a bouncer named Steve and decided to leave
For a gathering of men with our drums in our hands
And our hearts on our sleeves we stood around in the rain
Just sharing our pain and learning to grieve
Chorus
