Hello,

Again!

Here are a few more chord charts (not really TAB after all)
for some Elvis Costello songs.

Don't forget to use a single spaced font for this!

Please let me know if there are any errors, corrections, and so on.

Thanks,

michael

Chords from the songbook, mostly
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

Charm School
By Elvis Costello

define:
Gsus4  =  XX0044
Asus4  =  X02244

INTRO:

G  Dm  G  D


G
Men made out of monkeys
D
Men made into mice
G
Happy days are here again
    F                   D
And all the drinks half price
  C           Am          Em         C   Em    B7
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling
Em                             B7
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling

CHORUS:

Em                             E7
TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING out of anything at all
Am                               F
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
        C            F  C
In that charm school


G
You and I as lovers
     D
Were nothing but a farce
G
TRYING TO MAKE A SILK PURSE
F              D
OUT OF A SOW'S ARSE
C           Am
Saying 'Why don't you watch me'
Em              C
Hardly speaking SOTTO VOCE

(chorus)

Em
I've got a notion
I've got an angle
Asus4
Take your dreams and promises
And put them through the mangle
Dm
They say it's hell to finance too
                           Gsus4  G
And I just want to romance you

G
In this perpetual nightclub
D
I'll be yours eternal
G
Though the hours are long
F               D
And the noise infernal
C                 Am               Em
JUST ONE SHAMEFUL ACT OR SOMETIMES TWO
        C                    Em
WE MAKE BELIEVE WE'RE MAKING DO

(chorus)
