  Here's Elvis Costello's "Inch by Inch" off of "Goodbye Cruel

  World".  Listen to the bass line as to where to come in with the

  b d  f# notes - you can leave them out, but if playing by

  yourself, it adds a lot.  The notes have been left out of the

  verses.

  

  

  Intro b  d  f#   G  Bm

  

  *verse 1*

  G   Bm

       You can take a powder you can take a drink

  

  G   Bm

      You can keep the shrink and the kitchen sink

  

  Bm               Bm/A      Bm/G       Bm/F#

  Write my name in heaven in invisible ink

  

  Bm/F# F#m                          Bm  F#m

        I just woke up from dreaming,     I think

  

  *verse 2*

  

  G  Bm

     You can take me over you can give me a lip

  

  G  Bm

     You can take me under you can give me the slip

  

  Bm            Bm/A      Bm/G         Bm/F#

  Take off everything or tear me off a strip

  

  F#m

  Like a lady in the camber and another in the clip

  

  *chorus*

  

  G             Em

  Don't move a muscle baby

  

  Bm         Em

  Don't even flinch

  

          Bm      Bm/A  Bm/G

  You can miss me by a mile

  

  Bm/F#   Em      Bm

  Or just inch by inch

  

  

          G    

  Inch by inch, Inch by inch

  

  

  Em              F#m      Bm

  You can pull me up again inch by inch

  

          G

  Inch by inch, as pulses race

  

            Em            F#m       Bm    G  Bm

  I long to see that look upon your face

  

  

  *verse 3 same as verse 2*

  You can take me outside you can take me apart

  You can take me upstairs you can take me to heart

  You made me love you when you thought you were smart

  Don't try to stop me when you told me to start

  

  *same as other chorus*

  Don't move a muscle baby

  Don't even flinch

  You can miss me by a mile

  Or just inch by inch

  

  Inch by inch, Inch by inch

  You can pull me up again inch by inch

  Inch by inch, as pulses race

  I long to see that look upon your face

  

            Em            F#m       Bm   (fade)

  I long to see that look upon your face
