Dressing Up
	(words & music by Robert Smith)

I love this song, any time I hear it, I think of my friend Annita for some
reason (I have only known her a couple months). Anyway, I am transcribing
the -Paris- version of the song. It really does not make that much of a
difference since I have heard the original and it sounds exactly like
the -Paris- version. I broke the song up into two riffs like these:


Riff 1 (the tantalizing keyboard riff):

  B minorBm       C majorC    D MajorD       E5E5 E minorEm

E MajorE --------2-3-2----------|------2-3-2-------|--------------|--------------|
BB ----0-3-------3-0-0-0--|--0-3-------3-0---|--------------|--------------|
G+G -----------------------|------------------|--------------|--------------|
D MajorD -----------------------|------------------|---2---0--2---|-5--2--0--2---|
A augmentedA -2---------------------|------------------|--------------|------------2-|
E MajorE -----------------------|------------------|-0------------|--------------|

Riff 2 (The spine-tingling duo notes):

  C majorC         B minorBm     C majorC         B minorBm

E MajorE ---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|
BB ---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|
G+G ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
D MajorD ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
A augmentedA ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
E MajorE ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|


Those are basically the riffs with the chords on top. The lyrics are:


{Riff 1}
Going ..

Going ..

{Riff 2}
Dressing ..

{Riff 1}

Bb majorBb       A augmentedA

Bb majorBb       A augmentedA
Going ..
G+G     FF       E minorEm

I usually play the chords like this:

  E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE
  -----------
B minorBm x 2 4 4 3 2
C majorC  x 3 5 5 5 x
D MajorD  x 5 7 7 7 x
E5E5 x 7 9 9 x x
E minorEm 0 2 2 0 0 0
Bb majorBb 6 8 8 7 x x
A augmentedA  5 7 7 6 x x
G+G  3 2 0 0 3 3
FF  1 3 3 2 1 1


(And that is all for now- Adios)
