[Notes]
- Riff A and slight variations used for Intro and over A5 sections in verses.
- Riff B is used over like chords in the verses.
- The time signature of the guitar and drums don't seem to match for this song.
  The guitar seems to be primarily 6/8 time, but the drums are (maybe) 4/8
  time with beat on 1.

And dad head off to work

        He put coat and tie on
G  D/F#  G  D/F#  A5
         O- ver   fitted shirt
 
[Verse 2]
A5
Nothing else will fit right
A5
Or seem so directly applied
G  D/F#     G      D/F#       A5
       Than fitted shirt hung on me
G  D/F#    G     D/F#    A5
        Fitted shirt  alright

I         long for the days

They used to say
G5            A5
Ma'am and yes sir
    F#m(no5)  F(no5)       Esus4(no5)
For now       I'm going to find
Eb(b5)      D5
Buttons for my
G5             A5
Dad's old used shirt
 
[Chorus]

        I'm going to put on   a fitted shirt
 
[Bridge 2]
F#m(no5)  F(no5)    Esus4(no5)
One       day it'll take

And they'll start to make
G5              A5
Shirts that fit right
F#m(no5)  F(no5)    Esus4(no5)
Till      then I suppose

And that's alright
