[Verse 1]
[G]Mr.[D][Dm][D][G][D][G][D][G][Bbdim][Ebdim][D]
[G]Kelly,
[Am]if I [D]may re[G]mind you to remem[Am]ber the [D]day of [G]horseless carriages
[Bbdim]an d divorce [Am]-less [G]marriages.
[C]Dear [B]Miss Garland,
[C#m]I pre [F#m]sume that [B]in your
memory
[C#m]you've enough [F#sus4]room
to [B]reach infin[G#m]ity or[C#sus4]
[F#sus4]that vicin[B]ity.
[Bb]My heart booms like it had a
[Ebm]shot of ad[Ebdim]renaline.
[A]Your heart booms at the thought
of [D]old lace and crinoline.
So [G]hold your hats,
for [Am]here we [D]go to the [G]dear dead days
when the [A]girl's best [Am]beau
had [G]his heart in it.
As he [C]went to spin it,
and [G]sang to her [D]this charming Saturday
[G]Whe[D]n y[G]ou [Am]wore [G]a tulip,
a big yellow tulip
And [C]I wore a big red r[G]ose
[D]When [G]you[C] caressed me,
it was [G]then heaven blessed me,
[E]what a [A]blessing no one [D]knows.
[Ebdim]You made life[G] cheery
when you called me deary,
it was [C]down where the bluegrass [B]grows.
Your lips were [E]sweeter than julep
when [A]you wore a tulip,
and [D]I wore a big red r[G]ose.
[Am][C][Fm][Bbsus4]
[Bb]When [Eb]you wore a tulip,
yes, you wore a yellow [Ebdim]tulip,
[Abm]and I, and I[Ab] wore a rose[Eb],
a big fat rose.
[Ab]When you caressed me,
[Ebdim]it then heaven[Eb] blesse[Cm]d me
[F]What a bless, what a bless,
what a bless [Bb]no one knows
[E]You made life cheery
when you called me deary
It was [A]down [Em]where the [A]bluegrass [Ab]grows
Your lips were [C#]sweeter than julep
When [F#]you wore a tulip,
and [A]I w[E]ore a[A] bi[B]g bear.
