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.

Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away

Am F C

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

Losing his touch with each caress

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
