THERE'S A GUY WORKS DOWN THE CHIP SHOP SWEARS HE'S ELVIS by Kirsty MacColl

G

Oh darling why you talk so fast

D

Another evening just flew past tonight

And now the daybreak's coming in

G

And I can't wait and it aint right

G

You told me all you've done and seen

    C

And all the places you have been without me

Well I don't really want to know

    G

But I'll stay quiet and then I'll go

D G

And you won't have no cause to think about me

CHORUS:

G     C G

Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis

C G

Just like you swore to me that you'd be true

G     C G

Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis

D G

But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

G

Oh darling you're so popular

D

You were the best thing new in Hicksville

With your mohair suits and foreign shoes

G

News is you changed your pick-up for a Stockville

G

And now I'm lying here alone

  C

And your out there on the phone with some star in New York

I can hear you laughing now

    G

And can't help feeling that somehow

D G

You don't mean anything you say at all

CHORUS (x2)

Last line repeat three times
