NOTES:
As is Jonathan's wont, he modulates the song twice for each of the last two
verses but you're only going up a tone each time.


VERSE:
C            Am              F                   G
  Going to a party and she's wondering what's the way
       C                       Am              F         G
I said look why don't you just wear what you'd wear everyday
         C                 Am                   F
You know T-shirt, you know sweatshirt, you know cut-off shorts, 
         Fm    C           Am       F       G
You know those   plain old everyday clothes


VERSE:
C           Am               F          G
  She had a black dress that I remember still
           C        Am              F          G
But in her ordinary clothes she was dressed to kill
  C            Am           F                Fm
I loved her, I loved her at first sight I suppose
      C                       Am               F           G        C
But I couldn't have loved her more than in her   plain old everyday clothes


CHORUS:
C
Jeans and a sweater, jeans and a shirt
Starting going soft and I started to flirt

[Bass F# to G (twice)]

C                        G
Jeans and something that didn't fit right
          F          G        C
Oh, but I loved her, at first sight


VERSE:
C                  Am                   F                  G
  I could see in a dark night-club that she was one pretty girl
       C               Am                     F            G
But in Ipswich, in the afternoon, she was the Queen of the World
      C            Am              F                 Fm
And I loved her, I loved her, 'cos that's the way it goes
      C         Am                        F         G        C
And I loved her more when she was just in plain old everyday clothes


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
D            Bm                 G        A
Now she's in something from the hardware store
    D                 Bm                 G       A
But Pierre Cardin and Fiarrucci could've done no more
  D            Bm               G                 Gm
I loved her, I loved her 'cause that's the way it goes
      G              Bm          G         A        D
And I loved her even more in her plain old everyday clothes


CHORUS:
D
Jeans and a sweater, jeans and a shirt
Starting going soft and I started to flirt

[Bass G# to A (twice)]

D                        A
Jeans and something that didn't fit right
G                    A        B
Oh, but I loved her, at first sight


VERSE:
E            C#m                  A         B
Now she's in something that she's put on by chance
           E                    C#m                   A       B
But when I fell in love, when I fell in love it plain made no difference
  E            C#m              A           Am
I loved her, I loved her, since every angel knows
      A         C#m              A         B        E
And I loved her more in just her plain old everyday clothes


OUTRO:
E
Jeans and a sweater, jeans and a shirt
I started going soft and I started to flirt
E                            B
Jeans and something from the second-hand
        E
Well, remember what I said about Pierre Cardin
                             B
Jeans and something from the hardware store
          A                     B       E
Well, the Italian boys could've done no more
