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

Giving you more of what for

Always worked for me before
DD Piano Chord 
            EmEm Piano Chord 

Now I'm a shabby doll
EmEm Piano Chord 
                                   DD Piano Chord 

What's going on behind the green elevator door
EmEm Piano Chord 
          DD Piano Chord 
             EmEm Piano Chord 

With just a shabby doll

AmAm Piano Chord 

There's a hit man facing

A compromising situation
EmEm Piano Chord 

With just a shabby doll
DD Piano Chord 

And a very neat line in character assassination
EmEm Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 
             EmEm Piano Chord 

She's just a shabby doll

CHORUS:
DD Piano Chord 
            AA Piano Chord 

She's just a shabby doll
DD Piano Chord 
                   AA Piano Chord 

She's putting him off and putting you on
DD Piano Chord 
              AA Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 
               AA Piano Chord 

She's just the shabby doll, she's just the shabby doll
DD Piano Chord 
              AA Piano Chord 
                      DD Piano Chord 

You're swearing upon, you know in your heart
DD Piano Chord 
              AA Piano Chord 
                     EmEm Piano Chord 

She's gone you know in your heart
She's just a shabby doll

EmEm Piano Chord 

There's a girl in this dress
There's always a girl in distress
DD Piano Chord 
              EmEm Piano Chord 

She's just a shabby doll
She's so sure she's self-possessed
DD Piano Chord 
                         EmEm Piano Chord 

Then again she's half undressed
DD Piano Chord 
             EmEm Piano Chord 

She's just a shabby doll

AmAm Piano Chord 

The boy that I used to be
Showed no sign of sympathy
EmEm Piano Chord 

For just a shabby doll
I have betrayed you and me
DD Piano Chord 
                 EmEm Piano Chord 

And paid for my own bribery
DD Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 

With just a shabby doll

(chorus)

BRIDGE:
A/E (002220)                  Dmaj7 (XX0333)
He's the tired toy that everyone enjoyed
A/EA/E Piano Chord 
                              DD Piano Chord 

He wants to be a fancy man but he's nothing but a nancy boy
CC Piano Chord 
                     BB Piano Chord 

He's all pride and no joy

EmEm Piano Chord 

And being what you might call a whore
Always worked for me before
DD Piano Chord 
           EmEm Piano Chord 

Now I'm a shabby doll
Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag
DD Piano Chord 
                    EmEm Piano Chord 

But won't show his claws
DD Piano Chord 

He's just a shabby doll

AmAm Piano Chord 

She said you must be joking
Some things are left unspoken
EmEm Piano Chord 

You're just a shabby doll
He's lying limp and soaking
DD Piano Chord 
         EmEm Piano Chord 

He was openly broken
DD Piano Chord 

By just a shabby doll

(chorus)
