Intro: D Em Em-D/F#-G-A  x2

D   -  G                                           A                           D
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon, but to settle down and write you a line
         G                                       A                           D
I been meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota, hell, it's been a very long time
             A       Em    -    D/F#   -      G     -     A
You wear it well, a little old fashioned but that's all right

D    -     G                                                 A                         D
Well I suppose you're thinking Aunt Betty's sinking, oh he wouldn't get in touch with me
    G                                     A                    D
For I ain't begging or losing my head, I sure do want you to know
                  A     Em     -     D/F#   -   G   -   A
That you wear it well, there ain't a lady in a land so fine, oh my

D        -      G                                        A                      D
Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate, all day rock and roll shows
     G                                      A                     D
The homesick blues and the radical views, haven't left a mark on you
             A       Em       -        D/F#  -  G   -    A
You wear it well, a little late on the time but I don't mind

                G                          A            G                   A
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine, but I blew-it-without-even-trying
         G                     A                       D
Now I'm eating my heart out, trying to get a letter through

Solo:  A  Em-D/F#-G-A 

 Em               D/F#               G      A
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

            D     -        G                                          A                         
I want to write about the birthday gown that I bought in town as-you sat down and cried on the
   D
 stairs
                    G                                           A                          D
You-knew-it-didn't-cost the earth, but for what it's worth you made me feel-like-a millionaire
                 A     Em  -  D/F#   -    G    -     A
and you wear it well, Madame Onassis got nothing on you

 D   -   G                                          A                 D
Well my coffee's cold, and I'm gettin told, that I gotta get back to work
             G                                    A                         D
So when the sun goes low and you're home alone, think of me and try not to laugh
               A    Em  -   D/F#   -     G   -   A
and I wear it well, I don't mind if you call collect

       D   -    G                          A            G                   A
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine, but I blew it without even trying
         G                     A                     D
Now I'm eating my heart out, trying to get back to you

Solo:  D Em Em-D/F#-G-A  x2

 D                              Em   -    D/F#  - G - A
After-that's-been-said, what's left to address?
