Alice Blue Gown

 
              
Refrain 
A  E7   A         D9  E7  Cdim  A 
In my sweet little Alice blue gown  
C#7     B7             D9 Bm5-/7 Cdim  B7 
When I first wandered down  into     town  
       E        Cm5-/7 E7        A      C#m5-/7  F#7 
I was both proud and shy, as I felt e'ry       eye,  
        B7       Cdim        E     Cm5-/7    E7 
And in every shop window I primped passing by  
  A  E7  A         D9    E7 Cdim  A 
Then in manner of fashion,   I'd frown  
         C#7           Fdim              F#m E7/9-   A7 
And the world seemed to  smile  all around  
         D       Cdim  G#7       A     C#m5-/7  F#m7 
'Til it wilted, I wore  it, I'll always   adore   it  
     D9        Bm5-/7 E7 D9  Fdim  A 
My sweet little    Alice   blue gown  
 
Bridge - Verse 
E7 A          D9         Cdim   E7   A 
I once had a gown, it was almost new 
         Bm        F#m           B7          E 
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice Blue 
      A        F#m           D9        Fdim  A 
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there 
     B7      Cdim    E       Cm5-/7 E 
When I had it on, I walked on the air 
        A           C#7          F#m          A7 
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore, and it wore 
       Cdim         B7   Bm5-/7  E   Cm5-/7  E7 
Til it went and it wasn't no   more 
  A  E7  A         D9    E7 Cdim  A 
Then in manner of fashion,   I'd frown  
         C#7           Fdim              F#m E7/9-   A7 
And the world seemed to  smile  all around  
         D       Cdim  G#7       A     C#m5-/7  F#m7 
'Til it wilted, I wore  it, I'll always   adore   it  
     D9        Bm5-/7 E7 D9  Fdim  A 
My sweet little    Alice   blue gown
