Chords for Edith Day - Alice Blue Gown (1920)

_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] I once had a girl, it was all [Am] so blue,
Oh, [F] that dainty thing, it was sweet and [G] it flew,
_ With [C] little pork in me, [F] not here [C] and there,
[B] When I had it on, [Em] I [G] walked on the air, _ _
[C] And it wore, [E] and it _ [F] wore, and it [A] wore,
The [Bm] thinnest wind, _ and it [D] wasn't no [G] more.
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
In my sweet little _ _ [A] yoga,
_ _ [F] When I first wandered [D]
down in _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [A] every eye,
But in [Fm] every [D] soft window, _
[F] I'd trim the _ [G] same _ [B] fire,
[C] Then in manner [G] of [A] pride _ _ I'd [Dm] smile,
And the [A] world [F] seemed to smile all [E] around,
_ _ [F] And it filled all _
_ _ [Fm] my [C] little _ [Bb] _ [A]
joy,
And it wore, and [Dm] it wore, and it wore,
The _ [A] _
[F] _ [G] _ [Fm] _ [G] little _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ silkworm that made silk for that doll,
[Dm] Just made that [F] much silk, and crowded [G] the _ hall,
[C] For there never was anything like it before,
[B] And I don't dare to hope [Em] there will [B] be [G] any more,
_ [C] And it's gone, for [E] it just [F] had to _ be, _
[G] And it wore, _ and it [D] wore, and it wore,
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] The thinnest wind, and it wore, and it wore,
The thinnest silkworm that made silk [G] for that doll,
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ Just _ _ [D] made _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F] that much silk, and crowded the hall,
_ For there never was anything like it before,
And I don't dare to hope there [G] will be any more,
[B] _ _ [C] And it's gone, for it just had to be,
The little silkworm that _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [A] made silk [F] for that doll,
