Intro – Soft tremolo guitar, warm organ swell, light tambourine 00:00
[G] Ooh-ooh, velvet...
[C] So smooth, so blue
[G] Just me and you

Verse 1 00:30
[G] The shadows dance across the floor
[C] I couldn’t ask for any more
[G] Than to watch the golden light turn pale
[D] Behind your silken, summer veil
[G] The world outside can rush and roar
[C] But we’ve locked every heavy door
[G] In this quiet, amber glow
[D] There’s nowhere else we need to go

Chorus 01:20
[G] It’s a velvet afternoon, lingering and sweet
[C] Making every heartbeat feel complete
[G] Drifting on a cloud of soul, way up high
[D] Like a purple ribbon in the sky
[G] No more lonely, no more gray
[C] We’ve found a place where we can stay
[G] Soft as a whisper, bright as the noon
[D] In our velvet afternoon

Verse 2 02:10
[G] (Female) I used to count the ticking clock
[C] Waiting for your gentle knock
[G]Now the time just seems to fold
[D] Turning all our copper into gold
[G] (Both) We don’t need the diamond stars
[C] To tell the world that we are ours
[G] Every breath is a brand new song
[D] Right here is where we both belong

Chorus 03:00
[G] It’s a velvet afternoon, lingering and sweet
[C] Making every heartbeat feel complete
[G] When the world gets cold and rough
[D] This velvet love is more than enough

Saxophone Solo – Smoky, melodic tenor sax 03:26

Bridge 03:51
[Em] Let the sun sink down below the hill
[C] We’ll be standing perfectly still
[G] Wrapped in a feeling so refined
[D] Leaving the worried days behind
[Em] Higher than the mountain peak
[C] It’s the sanctuary that we seek
[G] Say you’ll stay, say you’re mine
[D] Until the end of space and time

Chorus 04:20
[G] It’s a velvet afternoon, lingering and sweet
[C] Making every heartbeat feel complete
[G] From the start of the day ‘til the rise of the moon
[D] It’s a velvet afternoon
[G] Hand in hand, soul to soul
[C] You’re the part that makes me whole
[G] Soft as a whisper, sweet as a tune
[D] In our velvet afternoon

Outro 05:10
[G] Mmm, so smooth
[C] (Velvet afternoon)
[G] Stay right here with me
[D] (So sweet, so deep)
[G] My velvet love
[C] Oh, yeah...
[G] Just you and me

Outro Sax reprise, fading out with lush strings 05:35
[vocal adlibs]

End 06:48
