Dressing Up
	(words & music by Robert Smith)

I love this song, any time I hear it, I think of my friend Annita for some
reason (I have only known her a couple months).  Anyway, I am transcribing
the -Paris- version of the song.  It really does not make that much of a
difference since I have heard the original and it sounds exactly like
the -Paris- version.  I broke the song up into two riffs like these:


Riff 1 (the tantalizing keyboard riff):

   Bm (x24432@1)           C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)            E5 (022xxx@1)Em (022000@1)E --------2-3-2----------|------2-3-2-------|--------------|--------------|
B ----0-3-------3-0-0-0--|--0-3-------3-0---|--------------|--------------|
G -----------------------|------------------|--------------|--------------|
D -----------------------|------------------|---2---0--2---|-5--2--0--2---|
A -2---------------------|------------------|--------------|------------2-|
E -----------------------|------------------|-0------------|--------------|


Riff 2 (The spine-tingling duo notes):

   C (x32010@1)               Bm (x24432@1)        C (x32010@1)               Bm (x24432@1)E ---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|
B ---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|
G ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
D ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
A ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
E ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|


Those are basically the riffs with the chords on top.  The lyrics are:


{Riff 1}
Going under slowly
It never seems too late
Going under slow

{Riff 2}
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to touch your lips

{Riff 1}
(Dressing up, dressing up)
(Dressing up, dressing up)
I~m dressing up to dance all week
I~m dressing up to be all this

{Riff 2}
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to be all this

Bb (x1333x@1)             AI (x02220@1)could eat your face
Bb (x1333x@1)    A (x02220@1)     (Riff 1)
I could eat all of you
Oh this night will never let me go...

Bb (x1333x@1)            AGoing (x02220@1)under slowly
Bb (x1333x@1)            ANever (x02220@1)seems too late
Bb (x1333x@1)            AGoing (x02220@1)under slowly
G (320003@1)       F (133211@1)            EmThere (022000@1)you pick me up again...


I usually play the chords like this:

    E (022100@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G B (x2444x@1)name="chord_022100@1">E

C (x32010@1) x 3 5 5 5 x
D (xx0232@1) x 5 7 7 7 x
E5 (022xxx@1)x 7 9 9 x x
Em (022000@1)0 2 2 0 0 0
