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)
