As recorded by The Black Crowes (From the 2022 EP 1972) [Intro] D Em D/F# G A D Em D/F# G A [Verse 1]
D     G
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon

       A                           D
But to settle down and write you a line

          G
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota

A                           D
Hell, it's been a very long time
[Chorus]
            A
You wear it well

  Em         D/F#          G          A
A little old fashioned but that's all right
[Verse 2]
D          G
Well, I suppose you're thinking, "I bet he's sinking

      A                          D
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me"

    G
Oh, I ain't begging or losing my head

  A                   D
I sure do want you to know
[Chorus]
               A
If you wear it well

Em            D/F#        G       A
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my
[Verse 3]
D             G
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate

    A                     D
The all-day rock and roll shows

     G
Them homesick blues and radical views

A                      D
Haven't left a mark on you
[Chorus]
            A
You wear it well

  Em            D/F#     G       A
A little out of time but I don't mind
[Verse 4]
D           G                             D
But I ain't forgettin' that you were once mine

      G                    D
But I blew it without even tryin'

        G
Now I'm eatin' my heart out

A                            D
Tryin' to get a letter through
[Organ Solo] A Em D G A D Em [Bridge]
                           D/F#         G     A
Oh, since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
[Verse 5]
      D               G
Gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town

    A                         D
You sat down and cried on the stairs

            G
You know it cost the earth, but for what it's worth

    A                    D
You made me feel a millionaire
[Chorus]
            A
You wear it well, ooh

Em      D/F#       G          A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you
[Verse 6]
   D       G
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm gettin' told

  A                 D
I gotta get back to work

            G
So when the sun goes down and you're home all alone

A                          D
Think of me and try not to laugh
[Chorus]
                A
And you wear it well

Em        D/F#        Em     A
I don't object if you call collect
[Verse 7]
D              G                             D
'Cause I ain't forgettin' that you were once mine

      G                    D
But I blew it without even tryin'

        G
Now I'm eatin' my heart out

A
Tryin' to get back to you
[Interlude] A Em D G A D [Outro]
D                                         Em       A G A
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

     D                                      Em    D/F# G A
Say, after all this, I hope it's the same address

      D                                         Em   D/F# G A
Said, since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
