[Verse]
DG I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
AD but to settle down and write you a line
G I been meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota
AD Hell, it's been a very long time
A You wear it well
EmD/F#GA A little old fashioned but that's all right
DG I suppose you're thinking Aunt Betty's sinking
AD oh he wouldn't get in touch with me
G For I ain't begging or losing my head
AD I sure do want you to know
A That you wear it well
EmD/F#GA There ain't a lady in a land so fine oh my
D Remember those
G basement parties, your brothers karate
AD All day rock and roll shows
G the homesick blues and the radical views
AD haven't left a mark on you
A You wear it well
EmD/F#GA A little late on the time but I don't mind
 [Chorus]
GA But I ain't for getting that you were once mine
GA but I blew it without even trying
G Now I'm eating my heart out
AD trying to get a letter through
EmD/F#GA Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
 [Verse]
D I want to write about the
G birthday gown that I bought in town
AD as you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it didn't
G cost the earth, but for what it's worth
AD you made me feel like a million aire
A and you wear it well
EmD/F#GA Madame Onassis got nothing on you
DG Well my coffee's cold, and I'm gettin told
AD that I gotta get back to work
G So when the sun goes low and you're home alone
AD think of me and try not to laugh
A and I wear it well
EmD/F#GA I don't mind if you call collect
 [Chorus]
GA But I ain't for getting that you were once mine
GA but I blew it without even trying
G Now I'm eating my heart out
AD trying to get a letter through
EmD/F#GA
