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,

By Elvis Costello

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)
