PigPen Theatre Co. - The Dress Song
[Verse 1]
E A
I'm making you a dress
E B
That you can wear on top
E A E
Of all the other things that you have got
[Verse 2]
E A
It's gonna be made of silk
E B
It's gonna have lacy fringe
E A E
It's gonna have two pockets you can put your things in
[Chorus]
A E
But when you wear my dress
A E
You've got to always step
A E B
In time with the one who's singing a song to you
[Verse 3]
E A
The breath upon your skin
E B
The tiny gust of wind
E A E
The one against the other keeps you pinned
A E A E A E B
[Bridge]
C#m
In line with the one who's singing to you
B
In time with the one who's singing to you
C#m
He's sung this song before before
B
He's slipping through that closing door again
[Verse 4]
E A
I guess I am a ghost
E B
That's what my friends all say
E A E
I'm rigid as a post and I am grey
[Verse 5]
E A
There isn't anything
E B
To say or do or want
E A E
I'm just an empty box collecting time, collecting sun
[Chorus]
A E
But when you wear my dress
A E
You've got to always step
A E B
In time with the one who's singing his song to you
[Outro]
