Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro x4
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
(continues something like that throughout the song,
the F with 3rd string hammered...)
Baby's got herself a new black dress
Put her pretty face on and then all the rest
She was beautiful
Well, I walked in and I looked like a mess
(I) saw frown on her face and hives on her chest
It was beautiful
Chorus
Baby's got a new dress, baby's got a new car
With the summer sun steady running out luck
(But) out in the ocean in slow motion
There's a message in a bottle just for us
3 years later we were talking real tall
Bought a bunch of new clothes, a couple new cars
To get us by
With piles of bills and our heads on the wall
Summer left so fast and then came fall,
We made it by
REPEAT CHORUS
Here in the city life seems so small
We make believe that we matter at all
in this life
She loves with her smile. She loves with her soul
Such a pretty little thing just helping me hold
on tight
REPEAT CHORUS
