	  		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 thinkin that I bet he's sinkin' or 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, no no
    D   -    G                                          A                  D
And 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 all alone, think of me and try not to laugh
               A    Em  -      D/F#   -    G   -   A
and I wear it well, I don't object 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?
