Big Boys

Big Boys (demo)

I am starting to function
In the usual way
Everything is so provocative
Very very, temporary

I shall walk (I shall walk)
Out of this place (out of this place)

Out on you
'Cause you go silly
If she's willing

By a face like a truncheon
I was down upon one knee
Stroking her vanity

E
I was stuck on a hammerhead
I came alive and left for dead
As my face returned to red
Choking on my pride and pity
E
We can talk (we can talk)
Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)
A
We can talk but she'll get to you
After you've been loved and hated
By the ones you've watched and waited
Found that they were overrated

Green Shirt
From: William Vaughan <wvaughan@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu>
Here's Elvis Costello's "Green Shirt" from the demo version off
the reissue of "This Years Model". The original version is
on "Armed Forces" and has very little guitar. For the demo
version, there is an extra verse (the last one). Be sure to
concentrate on the bass strings of the chords and use the up and
down picking motion EC does (listen to the record for details)
*verse 1*
C
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
F
That comes into my room every night
C
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
F
And she turns them into black and white.
*chorus*

C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb
Bb/A
Bb/G
F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
Bb
F
C
You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it
Bb
F
C
Better cut off all identifying labels
Bb
F
G
Before they get you on the touture table
*same as first verse*
Cause somewhere in the quisling clinic
There's a short time typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening into the Venus line
She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine
C

And you tease


F
And you flirt
Bb
Bb/A
Bb/G
F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
Bb

Never said I was a diplomat

Everybody is under suspicion but

You don't want to hear about that

*same as verse 1*
There are wives in the windows
There are wives in the walls
There are wives in the kitchens
And wives in the halls
There are wives on poles
There are wives in your face
There are wives in holes
Coming out all over the place
C
And you tease
