Shawn Colvin – Summer Dress (Guitar)

A
I put on my finest summer dress

A
So light and thin, it was my best

  D                  Bm
I brushed my hair, I held my breath

       A
I went out to face the wilderness

       E           D            A
I went out to face     the wilderness

A
Men in hats, boys on bikes

A
Perfect girls, baby dykes

D           Bm
Superstars, blighted ones

       A
I went out to face them one by one

       E                 D        A
I went out to face them,   one by one

G   D/F#   G   A
Goodbye    Maryann

G      D             A
As you turn to watch me

G     D/F#   G   A
Don't cry    Maryann

Bm        C#m    D        E
And don't try to stop me

A
Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright

A
Where sacred secrets sail like kites

           D             Bm
We've been sleeping girl all our lives

       A
And we never lived no we just survived

    E            D            A
And we never lived.   We just survived

A
I'll take my heart, I'll take my key

A
I'll find out who, who could care for me

          D                       Bm
Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires

          F#m                  A
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars

          E                    D            A
Are there thieves and beggars,   saints and liars?

G   D/F#   G   A
Goodbye    Maryann

G      D             A
As you turn to watch me

G     D/F#   G   A
Don't cry    Maryann

Bm        C#m    D        E
And don't try to stop me

A
I put on my finest summer dress

A
So light and thin, torn at the chest

  D
I brushed my hair, I held my breath

  A
I went out to face the wilderness

       E           D            A
I went out to face     the wilderness

G   D/F#   G   A
Maryann...
