  Clowntime Is Over

  (Elvis Costello from the album "Get Happy!" - Words and Music by Elvis

  Costello)

  Transcribed by D. W. Bennett

  

  Intro: C    F    C   Csus4 Ab      G

  C             F

  Tears on your blackmail

  Am         Dm

  Written to ransom

  C              F

  A point of the fingernail

  Am             Dm

  Says that he's handsome

  C            F

  Clowntime is over

  Ab           F

  Time to take cover

  C                 F

  While others just talk and talk

  Am         Dm                              G

  Somebody's watching where the others don't walk

  G                C

  Clowntime is over

  

  A voice in the shadows

  Says that his men know

  He don't step back as expected

  He's otherwise and unprotected

  

  Chorus

  C          F

  Almost too good to be true

  Am          Dm

  Who do you? why do you? what do you do?

  C                 F

  While everybody's hiding under covers

  Am                        Dm    Dm/E    Dm/F   G

  Who's making lover's lane safe again for lovers?

  

  Chorus

  

  I like to end with the intro followed by a sustained C12 (open C chord with a

  high G added) chord.
