[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]this is just to tell you[G]
[F]that i wear you[Fsus2]r dress som[F]etimes
[Am]the one you made with the gold broca[G]de
and the em[F]pire [Fsus2]waistline[F]
[Am]you fitted to your f[G]igure when
[F]it looked just like my [Fsus2]own
[F]that was[Am] jersey in the fifties,
[G]and[F] the women stayed[Fsus2] at home

[Verse 2]
so [F]you laid [G]your paper pattern
on the [D]table [G]in between[F]
the silver[G]ware and napkins and the
[Am]harper's [G]magazines[F]
from a slow suburban [G]season that
is [D]nothing but [F]a dream
to your [G]granddaughter

[Verse 3]
[Am]this is just to te[G]ll you t[F]hat i wear
your dress some[Fsus2]times[C]
[Am]i wear it down to th[G]e bar in town
[F]and dance around [Fsus2]all night
[F]talking and [Am]joking, swearing and smoking [G]like
[F]any stranger in [Fsus2]a crowd[F]
and nobody [Am]stares, nobody cares to tell [G]me
i'm not [F]allowed- [Fsus2]i am allowed

[Verse 4]
[Am]and my body, by the let[G]ter of the [D]law,
is still my [F]own
when [Fsus2]i lay down in [C]the darknes[G]s,
un[Am]burdened and [Fsus2]alone
[F]with the lib[Am]erty you[G]'ve given like
[D]the clothing you've outgrown
[F]to your granddau[Fsus2]ghter[G]
