[Verse 1]
 
C           Am
Going to a party
          F                    G
And she's wondering what’s to wear
          C                       Am            F          G
I said 'look, why don't you just wear what you wear every day?’
           C
You know, tee shirt
            Am
You know, sweatshirt
            F                     Fm
You know, cutoff shorts and all those
C           F        G
Plain ol' everyday clothes
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C           Am
She had a black dress that I
F         G
Remember still
            C          Am
But in her ordinary clothes
               F         G
The girl was dressed to kill
    C            Am           F             Fm
I loved her, I loved her at first sight I suppose
        C                 Am                F        G       C
And I couldn't loved her more than in her plain old everyday clothes
 
[Interlude]
 
C F C G
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C
Jeans and a sweater
C
Jeans and a shirt
C
I started going soft and I started to flirt
C
Well jeans and something that didn't fit right
     G                    F     G  A
But I loved her at first sight
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     D        Bm                  G       A
Now she's in something from the hardware store
    D                    Bm
But Pierre Cardin and a Fiorucci
            G       A
could have done no more
        D                 Bm
'cos I loved her, cos I loved her
      G                Gm
Cos that's the way it goes
       D              Bm               G          A          D
And I loved her even more in just her plain old every day clothes
G       D       A
Yeah, yeah yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D
Jeans and a sweater
D
Jeans and a shirt
D
I started going soft and I started to flirt
D
Well jeans and something that didn’t fit right
       A                   G    A  Bb
But I loved her at first sight
 
[Verse 3]
 
Eb                                 Ab        Bb
Now she’s in something that she's put on by chance
     Eb             N.C.
But when I fell in love, when I fell in love
          N.C.     N.C.
It plain made no difference
         Eb              Cm
’cos I loved her, cos I loved her
       Ab           Abm
Since every angel knows
          Eb        Cm                Ab         Bb       Cm
And I, I loved her more in just her plain old every day clothes
    Gm       Ab         B
My God, her plain old everyday
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Eb
Jeans and a sweater
Eb
Jeans and a shirt
Eb
I started going soft and I started to flirt
Eb
Jeans and something from the second hand
Eb
But remember what I said about Pierra Cardin
Eb
Jeans and something from the hardware store
Eb                              Db      Eb
But the Italian boys couldn'ta done no more
 
 
[Outro]
 
Eb
Alright
 Db   Eb
Woah alright
