From: William Vaughan <wvaughan@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> Date: Sat, 16 Sep 1995 10:17:18 -0400 (EDT) Here's Elvis Costello's "Green Shirt" from the demo version off the Ryko reissued 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*
CThere's a smart young woman on a light blue screen That comes into my room every Fnight
And she Ctakes all the red, yellow, orange and green And she turns them into black and wFhite.
*chorus*
And you Ctease And you Fflirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can Bbplease yourself, but Fsomebody's going to get Cit Better Bbcut off all Fidentifying Clabels
BefBbore they get you Fon the touture Gtable
*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
And you Ctease And you Fflirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can tBbease yourself, but Fsomebody's going to get Cit BbNever said I was a Fstool pigeon
BbNever said I was a Fdiplomat BbEverybody is Funder suspicion but
CYou don't want to hear about Fthat
And you Ctease And you Fflirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can Bbplease yourself, but Fsomebody's going to get Cit Better Bbsend the naked Fledger to the Cbig investigFation
BbWho put these Ffinger prints on Cmy imaginaFtion *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
And you Ctease And you Fflirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can Bbplease yourself, but Fsomebody's going to get Cit *same* You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it
