[Verse 1]
  C                      Dm      G      Em F
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
                G           C
I'm all dressed up for the dance.
  C                      Dm      G      Em F
A white sport coat and a pink carnation,
         G         C
I'm all alone in romance.
 
[Bridge 1]
G
  Once you told me long ago
C
..to the prom with me you'd go,
D7
..now you've changed your mind, it seems
G                   G7
..someone else will hold my dreams.
 
[Verse 2] (partial)

And in a blue...blue mood
