  Shot With His Own Gun

  Words & Music by: Elvis Costello

  >From the album: TRUST

  

  Comment: I am not sure how well this song 

  works with solo guitar/singer combo. The 

  version on the album w vocal and piano is 

  great, though. If anybody figures out a 

  better arrangement for guitar please 

  let me know. I am more of a strummer than a picker, but I think a good

  guitarist could turn this into a great arrangement. thanks,    m.

  

  define:

  D+    = XX4332

  Ab    = XX1114 

  Ebm   = XX4342

  G#dim = XX3434

  

  INTRO:

  Dm Am Dm Am

  

  

  Am                          F      C

  How does it feel now you've been undressed

       Dm         C             G      C

  by a man with a mind like the gutter press

  E       Am         D         G      D

  So disappointed to find it's no big sin

  G     D       G     G#dim

  Lying skin to skin

  

  

  CHORUS:

  

  little riff:

  

  e-----------

  B-----------

  G-----------

  D-----------

  A-0-----3---

  E----0------

  

  Dm   Am   Dm  Am       (lil' riff)

  Shot with his own gun

  Dm  Am  Dm Am       (lil' riff)

  Now dad is keeping mum

  Dm   Am           C      (end riff)  

  Shot with his own gun    e--0-0-0--1---

                           B--1-1-1--1---

                           G--1-1-1--1---

                           D---------0---

                           A-------------

                           E-------------

  

  

  Ab  F#  Ebm         F#          D           D+ Bb   F

  Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away

  

  

  Am                        F        C

  What's on his mind now is anyone's guess

  Dm         C          G       C

  Losing his touch with each caress

  E              Am              D    G

  Spending ev'ry evening looking so appealing

     D             G

  He comes without warning

  D              G   G#dim

  Leaves without feeling

  

  (CHORUS)

  

  Ab F#   Ebm                F#            D             D+ Bb   F

  On your marks, man, ready, set Let's get loaded and forget

  

  Am                      F      C

  The little corporal got in the way

      Dm     C          G        C

  And he got hit by an emotional ricochet

  E          Am            D           G

  It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly

  D       G           D       G  G#dim

  Playing house seems so melancholy

  

  Chorus

  

  Ab F#   Ebm           F#             D                D+  Bb   F

  Oh it's too sad to be true your blue murder's killing you

  

  INSTRUMANTAL INTERLUDE:

  

  (yeah, right, i can TAB that!?!)

  

  CHORUS
