[A] [Bm]
I [G] had nothing to do on this hot afternoon [A] but to settle down and write [D] you a line.
I've [G] been mean and tough on you but from Minnesota, [A] hell it's been a very [D] long time.
You [G] wear [A] a red blanket, [Em] a little [D] old fashioned [G] but that's [A] all right.
[D] Well [G] I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking [A] or he wouldn't get in touch [D] with me.
[G] Oh I ain't begging or losing my head, [A] I sure do want you [D] to know that you're wearing [A] glam.
[Em]
There ain't [D] a lady [G] in the man's [A] old time home now.
[D] Remember [G] them face-pulling parties, your brother's karate, [A] the all-day rock and [D] roll show.
[G] Them homesick blues and the radical blues, [A] I haven't left a mark [D] on you.
You [A] wear it well, [Em] a little [D] out of time [Em] but I [A] don't mind.
[D] But I ain't [G]
forgetting that you were [D] once mine but I [G] blew it without even [D] trying.
[G] Now I'm eating my heart out, [A] trying to get a letter [D] through.

[F#m] [Em] [A]
[D] [Em] [A]
[Em] Since you've been [D] gone it's hard [Em] to carry [A] on.
I [D] want to write about [G] the birthday gown that I bought in town.
When [A] you sat down and cried on [D] the stairs, [Bm] you knew it [G] didn't cost me a karate at best.
[A] You make me feel a million [D]
and you wear [A] it well.
[Em] Madame [F#m] Audrey Nass has [G] got nothing [A] on you, no no.
[D] Anyway [G] my carpet's cold and I'm getting told [A] that I gotta get back [D] to work.
So [G] when the sun goes low and you're home all alone, [A] think of me and try not [D] to laugh.
And I'll wear [A]
it [Em] well, I don't [F#m] object if [Em] you call it [A] relax.
Cause I ain't [G]
forgetting that you were [D] once mine but I [G] blew it without even [D] trying.
Now [G] I'm eating my heart out, [A] trying to get back to [D] you.
