  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,

  Charm School

  By Elvis Costello

  >From the Album: Punch the Clock

  

  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)
