[Blues it up in the first verse by adding these
where appropriate]

verse 1:
E5E5
Sitting here wishing a the cement floor
   G5G5           E5E5
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
G5G5   E5E5    G5G5   E5E5
Put it on when I go lonely
     A minorAm      C majorC     D MajorD     E5E5
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

verse 2:
E5E5
I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
    G5G5               E5E5
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
G5G5    E5E5     G5G5   E5E5
Run outside in the desert heat
      A minorAm    C majorC    D MajorD     E5E5
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

verse 3:
E5E5
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
    G5G5               E5E5
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
G5G5       E5E5      G5G5    E5E5
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
   A minorAm     C majorC     D MajorD   E5E5
Just wear that dress when you dine

verse 4:
E5E5
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
    G5G5               E5E5
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
G5G5    E5E5     G5G5   E5E5
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
 A minorAm       C majorC     D MajorD    E5E5
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
E5E5
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
    G5G5               E5E5
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
