Then on to the bridge.   2nd verse:   "Will you take off you dress and send it to . . .

"   Follow this with the chorus of D F G A for "Just wear that dress when you di-i-i-i-ine."   Then comes a second Bridge for some very narcissistic lyrics and a very basic A G D progression of chords.   | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |7-------7---5-------12--------7-|------7---5-------12--------7---| |5-------5---3-------10--------5-|------5---3-------10--------5---|   | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |----7---5-------12--------7-----|--7---5-------12--------7-------| |----5---3-------10--------5-----|--5---3-------10--------5-------|   | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |7---7-------7-------7-----------|--------------------------------| |5---5-------5-------5-----------|--------------------------------|   Then back to acoustic intro. The rest of the song is pretty self-explanatory, save for a few guitar lead inserts and other effects.   During the "D-A-V-I-D" section of the song, this fill is played over and over about ten times.   |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |10----0---5b6-----0-------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------|   This last fill is played near the end during the whole verse and is almost inaudible. But it is there.   |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |14----------13----------14------|--------------------------------| |14----14----14----14----14----14|--------------------------------| |------14----------14----------14|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------|   It ends the song.
