Hello,

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

DD Piano Chord 
                             D7D7 Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 

There's a young girl with her old man who's too sick to mention
DD Piano Chord 
                D7D7 Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 

She'll be turning twenty seven as she draws her widow's pension
DD Piano Chord 
                D7D7 Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 

But he couldn't catch a common cold he couldn't get arrested
DD Piano Chord 
            D7D7 Piano Chord 

Too terrified to answer back
GG Piano Chord 
                D7D7 Piano Chord 

Too tired to have resisted
GG Piano Chord 
               CC Piano Chord 

Many hands make light work
GG Piano Chord 

Shorthand makes life easy
CC Piano Chord 

When he's out on night work
GG Piano Chord 

Make sure no one sees me
DD Piano Chord 

It all ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises
A7A7 Piano Chord 

A change is better than a rest

Silly beggars can't be choosers

CHORUS:

GG Piano Chord 
                                  DD Piano Chord 

One of a thousand pities you can't categorize
GG Piano Chord 
      AA Piano Chord 
            BmBm Piano Chord 

There are ten commandments of love
GG Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

When will you realise

There are ten commandments of love
AA Piano Chord 
                                GG Piano Chord 
                  EmEm Piano Chord 
        Em7Em7 Piano Chord 

I believe, I trust, I promise, I wish love's just a throwaway kiss
DD Piano Chord 

In this Pidgin English

If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes
CC Piano Chord 

Take it to the bridge she sighs

DD Piano Chord 
                  D7D7 Piano Chord 
                 GG Piano Chord 
         DD Piano Chord 

You go cheep cheep cheep between bulls-eyes and bluster
DD Piano Chord 
               D7D7 Piano Chord 

Stiff as your poker face
GG Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

Keener than mustard
DD Piano Chord 
        D7D7 Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 
         DD Piano Chord 

DD Piano Chord 
        D7D7 Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 
       D7D7 Piano Chord 

GG Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

Silence is golden
GG Piano Chord 

Money talks diamonds and ermine
GG Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 

There's a word in Spanish
GG Piano Chord 

Italian and German
DD Piano Chord 

In sign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish
A7A7 Piano Chord 

Have you forgotten how to say it

In your Pidgin English?

(chorus)

DD Piano Chord 

PS I love you
(and so on . . . )
