Costello Elvis - Inch By Inch guitar tab

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*

Don't move a muscle baby

Bm Em

Don't even flinch

You can miss me by a mile

Bm/F# Em Bm

Or just inch by inch

Inch by inch, Inch by inch

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
