(ver. 1)
Costello Elvis
G  Em
D  C  G

           G                                               Em
The family circle gathers round from very far and near
        D                         C                                 G
To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year
          G                                             Em
The little girl you dangeled on your knee without mishap
                 D                        C                     G
Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap

          Am                         Em
The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss
Bb                                                    Dm                 D
I would say that something here is very much in this

G                             Em
But it´s a living and this is the life
               D       C           G
For the world and his wife
          D     C#7     F#m
The world and his wife

           Am                                            Em
The kissing cousins step outside to cuddle and confess
Bb                                                    Dm                     D
She says sweet nothing at all it´s much more of a mess
              G                               Em
She says our mother and someone else´s father
   D                                 C                  G
Went for two weeks holiday in Taramasalata
    G                                                Em
Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking
      D                               C                         G
Between mum and the walls - god only knows who does the takling

          Am                         Em
The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss
Bb                                                    Dm                 D
I would say that something here is very much in this

G                             Em
But it´s a living and this is the life
               D       C         G
For the world and his wife
          D     C#7     F#m
The world and his wife

             Am                                              Em
The conversation melts like chocolate down our open jaws
                      Bb                                                 Dm                        D
Through the loud appeal of laughter and the counting of score draws
        G                                                      Em
But later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rol
                           D            C                   G
Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol
     G                                                       Em
Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas
                 D                      C                      G
With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in diferent keys

          Am                         Em
The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss
Bb                                                    Dm                 D
I would say that something here is very much in this

G                               Em
But it´s a living and this is the life
               D       C         G
For the world and his wife
          D       C         G
The world and his wife
          F       C         G
The world and his wife
