Pump It Up - Elvis Costello
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Markik

Standard, of course.
Quick tab. It's also my first *real* tab. Here's hoping I don't -bleep- it up too bad, eh?
Some intro stuff. I advise not hewing too close to what he does.
Have fun with it, make something up.
E|-----------------------------------|-----------9b^~~9r----9------|-----------9---9b^---|
B|--------------------9b^~~~~9r------|-----------7b^~~7r----7------|-----------10--10b^--|
G|--------------------9b^~~~~9r------|-----------6b^~~6r----6------|---------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------|
E|---x--------------------------------------|
B|---x--------------------------------------|
G|---x--------------------------------------|
D|---x----------4--4---6--6---7--7---8--8---|
A|---x----------4--4---6--6---7--7---8--8---|
E|---x----------2--2---4--4---5--5---6--6---|
...aaaand the main riff. There are two ways of doing it (or probably a billion).
E|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------|
D|-9----9----9---8---7---9--------|
A|-9----9----9---8---7---9--------|

B|-0----0----0---0---0---0--------|
G|-2----2----2---2---2---2--------|
D|-1----1----1---1---1---1--------|
A|-2----2----2---1---0---2--------|
E|--------------------------------|x4
And here's the verse riff, which you can play two ways, too.
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|-----9--9-------------|
D|-----9--9-------7/9---|
A|-----7--7-------7/9---|
E|----------------5/7---|
or:
e|-----0--0-------0-0---|
B|-----0--0-------0-0---|
G|-----1--1-------1-1---|
D|-----2--2-------2-2---|
A|-----2--2-------0h2---|
E|-----0--0-------0-0---|
You could also do a hammer-on from D to E on the fourth string (0h2 on D string),
personal preference dictates.
EI've been on tenterhoE/Aoks, Eending in dirty E/Alooks,
EList'ning to the MuE/Azak, Ethinking 'bout this 'n' E/Athat.
EShe said, "That's tE/Ahat. EI don't wanna chitter E/Achat."
ETurn it down a little E/Abit or Eturn it down E/Aflat.
E (strum in time) E7
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
E (keep strummin') E7
Pump it up until you can feel it.
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B x4
EDown in the pleasure E/Acenter, Ehell-bent or heaven-E/Asent,
EListen to the propaE/Aganda, Elisten to the latest E/Aslander.
EThere's nothing under-E/Ahand Ethat she wouldn't underE/Astand.
EPump it up until you can E7feel it.
EPump it up when you don't really E7need it.
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B x4
[two bar rest]
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B x2
EShe's been a bad E/Agirl. SEhe's like a chemE/Aical.
EThough you try to E/Astop it, Eshe's like a narE/Acotic.
EYou wanna tortureE/A her. YEou wanna talk toE/A her.
EAll the things you bought forE/A her, Eputting up your temp'raE/Ature.
EPump it up until you can E7feel it.
EPump it up when you don't really E7need it.
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B x2
EOut in the fashion E/Ashow, dEown in the bargainE/A bin,
EYou put your passion E/Aout Eunder the pressure E/Apin.
EFall into submissE/Aion, Ehit and run transE/Amission.
ENo use wishing E/Anow for Eany other E/Asin.
EPump it up until you can E7feel it.
EPump it up when you don't really E7need it.
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B x4
EPump it up until you can E7feel it.
EPump it up when you don't really E7need it.
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B x4
EPump it up until you can E7feel it.
EPump it up when you don't really E7need it.
B7 B7/Bb B7/A B
And here's the end. Repeat as many times as you don't really need it, I guess.
End on E.
