Black Dress

G
Once I was young in New York City,
The summer was hard, but damn it was pretty.
C                       G
And I wore a black dress,
                Em
To make myself right
                        D
To cover the mess of myself
C               G
And I wore a black dress,
                Em
To make myself right,
                D
To cover the mess of myself.
G
Babe you should know pictures don’t do you justice,
The look in your eye numbers you with the haunted.
C
And I know,
                G
know you can’t stay
Em,
Something will come
                D
and take you away.
C
And I know,
                G
know you can’t stay,
Em
Something will come
                D
and take you away.

C               G
And oh now love,
Em                   D                  C
 could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
        G Em                     D
Now love, could you hold on to me just a little bit more?

G
I’m here tonight for to find me some savin’
You’re here tonight in your need for escapin’
C               G
And I wore a black dress,
                Em
To make myself right
D
To cover the mess of myself.
C               G
And I wore a black dress,
                Em
To make myself right,
                        D
To cover the mess of myself.
G
Prodigal sons playing tag by the bowery
And I’ll close my eyes and let you run by me
C
And I know,
                G
know you can’t stay,
Em
Something will come
                D
and take you away
C
And I know,
                G
know you can’t stay,
Em
Something will come
                D
and take you away

C               G
And oh now love,
Em                   D                  C
 could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
        G Em                     D
Now love, could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
C G Em D

C                       G       Em      D
Don’t mind me now, if I slip on by you
C               G       Em              D
I’m a little too mortal, for something divine.
C               G       Em              D
And if you would like, well you know where to find me
C               G       Em              D
At the back of the bar, with a cheap vodka lime.

C               G
And oh now love,
Em                   D                  C
 could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
        G Em                     D
Now love, could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
C               G
And oh now love,
Em                   D                  C
 could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
        G Em                     D
Now love, could you hold on to me just a little bit more?
