My Best Dress

Intro: [Cm]

[Cm]When your life is over

I [G7/D]won't be sad or blue

[G]I'll put on my fancy hat

[Cm]Lie down next to [G]you

 

I'll [Cm]kiss you once for life

I'll [G7/D]kiss you twice for death

[G]Hold you close for comfort

[Cm]Wearing my best [G]dress

 

You [Fm]look so angry [D7]when you sleep

Your [G]face a troubled [Cm] [Cm7]frown

So [Fm]I will smooth your [Cm]furrowed brow

As I [G]lay you in the ground

 

I'll [Cm]kiss you once for life

I'll [G7/D]kiss you twice for death

[G]Hold you close for comfort

[Cm]Wearing my best [G]dress

 

And [Cm]as the mourners pass me

[D7]I will smile and wave

[G7]Thank them for their sympathy

And [Cm]tell them I'll be [G]brave

But [Fm]once the wake is [D7]over

And I'm [G]drunk and feeling [Cm] [C7]fine

I'll [Fm]go out there and [Cm]find me

Another [G]boy to pass the time

 

[Cm]As we're dancing cheek to cheek

And the [D]lights are laid low

I'll [G]request this song for you

Laying [Cm]in the ground [G]below

[Ab]Once the song is [Fm]over

And it's [Cm]time to go to bed

I'll [Ab]leave him on the [Fm]dance floor

And [G]return to you instead [Cm] [D] [G] [Cm]

 

I'll [Cm]kiss you once for life

I'll [G7/D]kiss you twice for death

[G]Hold you close for comfort

[Cm]Wearing my best [G] [Cm]dress
