Verse 1

[F#]Put on that dress - [A]I'm [F#]going [A]out [F#]dancing

[F#]Starting off red - [B]clean a[F#]nd sparkl[B]ing he'll[F#] see me

[F#]Music playing make it dreamy for dancing -

[A]must be [F#]a way that I ca[A]n dress to[F#] please him

[F#]It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy -

[B]I'm spillin[F#]g over like [B]a heavy l[F#]oaded fruit tree

Verse 2

 
 -------

[F#]It's sad to see - l[A]onel[F#]y all t[A]his lo[F#]nely

[F#]Close up my eyes - [B]dreamy dr[F#]eamy music [B]make it be [F#]alright

[F#]Music play make it good for romacing -

[A]must be a[F#] way I can [A]dress to [F#]please him

[F#]Swing and sway everything'll be alright -

[B]but it's [F#]feeling so [B]damn tight [F#]tonight

Verse 3

 
 -------

[F#]Filthy tight, the dress is filthy -

[A]I'm falli[F#]ng flat and[A] my arms[F#] are empty

[F#]Clear the way better get it out of this room -

[B]a fallin[F#]g woman i[B]n dancin[F#]g costume

Chorus

 
 ------

[B]If you put it on

[A]If you put it on[F#]

[B]If you put it on

[G]If you put it on[F#]

"[A]You [F#]purdy [A]thang," [A]My [F#]man [A]says,

"[A]But I [F#]bought [A]you [A]beautiful [F#]dre[A]sses."
