This song is repetitive as it does the same chord progression. The
riff you hear is sorta like this when you are in the Cadd9:
E-------------|
B-------------|
G-------------|
D-----------0-|
A'0-3-2-3-2---|
E-------------|
Cadd9 ' X32033
[D]Remember when we'd [Cadd9]get together
[D]Burn the candle [Cadd9]don't you know
[D]Smoke and drink and [Cadd9]live forever
[D]No one there to [Cadd9]tell us no
This time I'm gonna kill that bastard
This time I'm not gonna miss
This time there ain't no doubt about it
Let me be quite clear on this
Out the back and down the alley
Gone to get your bucket spiked
Come back when you think you need me
Come back any time you like
Chorus:
[D]Where'd you get that [Cadd9]red dress[D][Cadd9]
[D]Where'd you get that [Cadd9]red dress[D][Cadd9]
Solo
Yes I'm drunk but damn you're ugly
Tell you one thing, yes I will
Tomorrow morning I'll be sober
You'll be just as ugly still
Chorus
Bridge:
[Bm]I don't know what you got [G]going on
But I [Bm]know I never seen you with that [G]red dress on
Tell me [D]where'd you get that [Cadd9]red dress
Watching out the kitchen window
Right here in this old brown chair
Stack the empties on the table
Toss 'em down the basement stairs
Where'd you get that red dress
Where'd you get that red dress
Remember when we'd get together
Burn the candle don't you know
Smoke and drink and live forever
No one there to tell us no
