Lyrics

A (C)white

sport coat

(Am7)and a (Dm7)pink

car (G)na tion,

I’m all dressed (G6)up for the (C#dim7)dance.

A (C)white

sport coat

(Am)and a (Dm)pink

car (G)na tion,

I’m all a (G7)lone in ro (C)mance.

Once you told me long a go

to the prom with me you’d go.

Now you’ve changed your mind, it seems,

some one else will hold my dreams.

A (C)white

sport coat

(Am)and a (Dm7)pink

car (G)na tion,

I’m in a (G7)blue, blue (C)mood.

Once you told me long a go

to the prom with me you’d go.

Now you’ve changed your mind, it seems,

some one else will hold my dreams.

A (C)white

sport coat

(Am)and a (Dm7)pink

car (G)na tion,

I’m in a (G7)blue, blue (C)mood.

(C)mood.
