[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!):]
