ELVIS COSTELLO - CLOWN STRIKE CHORDS

^GShe`ll fix you with an ^Amiron cross ^GAnd cover you up with ^Ampetals ^GAnd hang you up with some ^Amamber beads ^GAnd four or five precious ^Ammetals ^GAnd in that black fla^Ammingo chair ^GYou`ll sit among her ^Amtrophies ^GAnd pray to be ^Amabandoned ^GTill you don`t know what ^Amhope is

^GBut there`s one ^Cthing that I ^Emhad to keep in^Amside ^GBecause I was ^Cshaking Why ^Emdon`t you get some ^Ampride There was a ^Emclown strike ^EmAnd the clowns threw down their tools But you ^Cdon`t have to play so hard ^EmAnd I`m nobody`s fool You don`t ^Ghave to go so ^Am7far `Cause I l^Gove ^Am7you as you ^Gar^Am7e

The ^Gbig top is de^Amserted now And the ^Gcircus girl ^Amrehearses ^GShe knows how to ^Amturn their heads And ^Gnot fall between^Am two horses But ^Gall that seems a ^Amsimple step ^GIf only I were ^Amable To ^Glove you like I ^Amwant to do And ^Gnot by some times ^Amtable

^GBut there`s one ^Cthing that I ^Emhad to keep in^Amside ^GBecause I was ^Cshaking Why ^Emdon`t you get some ^Ampride There was a ^Emclown strike ^EmAnd the clowns threw down their tools But you ^Cdon`t have to play so hard ^EmAnd I`m nobody`s fool You don`t ^Ghave to go so ^Am7far `Cause I l^Gove ^Am7you as you ^Gar^Am7e

And it`s ^Cpandemonium For the ^Am7humble and the ^Gmighty You don`t ^Amhave to ^G/Btumble ^Cfor me ^CmEven a clown knows when to ^Emstrike

^GTell me what you ^Amwant of me Or are you ^Gterrified of ^Amfailure? ^GYou put on a supers^Amtitious face ^GBehind all this parapher^Amnalia ^GWe`re not living in a ^Ammasquerade Where ^Gyou only have three ^Amwishes ^GIt isn't ^Ameasy to see In a ^Glifetime of mistaken ^Amkisses

^GBut there`s one ^Cthing that I ^Emhad to keep in^Amside ^GBecause I was ^Cshaking Why ^Emdon`t you get some ^Ampride There was a ^Emclown strike ^EmAnd the clowns threw down their tools But you ^Cdon`t have to play so hard ^EmAnd I`m nobody`s fool You don`t ^Ghave to go so ^Am7far `Cause I l^Gove ^Am7you as you ^Gar^Am7e

In this it`s ^Cpandemonium For the ^Am7humble and the ^Gmighty You don`t ^Amhave to ^G/Btumble ^Cfor me ^CmEven a clown knows when to ^Emstrike
