[Blues it up in the first verse by adding these
where appropriate]


E5
Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor[?]
     G5                      E5
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
G5     E5          G5     E5
Put it on when I'm oh lonely
         Am            C         D          E5
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And the letter that you're writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you di—i—ie

Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on the scenery floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

[Outro (real tricky!):]
