Song of the Day: Madonna – “Dress You Up” (includes chords/lyrics)

November 9, 2008 by krisis

I’m sorry, with all that talk about expensive clothing I just couldn’t resist.

Madonna – “Dress You Up”

For the record, it started out with less reverb, and then Elise came in and insisted that a properly faithful early-Madonna cover would require more.

Since I literally threw this together in about twenty minutes it’s not as precious as my Trio stuff, and as I was finished it up I thought, Hey, since it’s not in Trio a little harmony is fair game. And, of course, the 12 seconds of harmony is now my favorite part of the entire song.

(I swear I have a Trio completely done and ready to deploy as soon as I mix it down and convert it to MP3s. Seriously. This did not interrupt Trioing any more than going to the bathroom or bathing. (And, yes, you can safely assume from that that I prioritize anything related to Madonna higher than personal hygiene.))

Chords and lyrics below.

Dress You Up – Chords

This arrangement is very similar to the album. Capo 1 to match the recording, which is in Ab.

Gmaj7#11 = 320022
Gmaj7 = 320002 or 320032, depending on convenience.

Intro/Verse: Gmaj7#11 Gmaj7 As4 A
(If you listen to my verses, I actually do each pair of chords twice as hammers)

Pre-Chorus: Em Gmaj7 F#s4–p–F# F#s4

Chorus: Gmaj7 A(6) F#m7 Bm

Roadmap:
Intro once, bass only
Intro x 2
Verse 1, Chorus
Verse 2, Chorus x 2
Verse as guitar solo
Chorus to fade

Dress You Up – Lyrics
You’ve got style, that’s what all the girls say
Satin sheets and luxuries so fine
All your suits are custom made in London
But I’ve got something that you’ll really like

Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body

Feel the silky touch of my caresses
They will keep you looking so brand new
Let me cover you with velvet kisses
I’ll create a look that’s made for you

Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body

Gonna dress you up in my love, in my love
(All over your body) all over your body
In my love (All over, all over)
From your head down to your toes

[Gratuitous guitar solo]

Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body

Gonna dress you up in my love, in my love
(All over your body) all over your body
In my love (All over, all over)
From your head down to your toes

(Gonna dress you up in my love) Gonna dress up you in my love
(All over, all over) Gonna dress up you in my love
(Gonna dress you up in my love) In my love
(All over your body) All over your body
