fantastic song. had to hunt for this tab and found it on an elvis costello website, so credit and thanks to Mats Jansson for doing the groundwork and allowing me to play this masterpiece. ive changed/added to/subtracted from it quite a bit to suit how i play it so feel free to compare with the original tab: http://www.elviscostello.info/guitar/tym.html#this_years_girl Bmsus4 (i like to play this at the 7th fret) E A D G B e x 2 4 4 5 2 Intro: D C D C G|-6/7\6------| |-4/5\5-------| D|-x-x-x-7-2--| |-x-x-x-5-4-2-| A|-4/5\4-x-x--| |-2/3\2-x-x-x-| E|-------5-0--| x5 |-------3-2-0-| (riff 2)
D See her picture in a thBmousand places 'cause she's thAis year's girl. D Bm F#m (riff 1) You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl. G Forget your fAancy manners,G forget your AEnglish grammar, G 'cause you don't really gAive a damn about Dsus4this year's girlD. Dsus2 D
Repeat intro, then the same chords as verse 1. Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl. You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl. Never knowing (if?) it's a real attraction, all these promises of satisfaction, while she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl.
TBmime's running out. She's not hGappy with the cDost. E7 intro riff E There'd be no doubt, only she's forgotten much more than she's lost.
(riff 2)
D A bright spark might cBmorner the market in thAis year's girl. D Bm F#m (riff 1) You see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl. G Those disco sAynthezisers,G those daily trAanquilizers, G those body bAuilding prizes,G those bedroom Aalibis; G all this, but nAo surprises for Dsus4this year's gDirl. Bmsus4 Bm G All this, but nAo surprises for tF#mhis year's girl. Bmsus4 Bm G All this, but nAo surprises for Dsus4this year's gDirl.
Outro: play intro riff then i do something like this: e|-0--0~----------0-| B|-0--0~----------0-| G|-9--9--7~---/9--9-| D|-9--9--7~---/9--9-| A|-7--7--5~---/7--7-| E|----------0~-0--0-| play a few times then end on the big E chord riff 1 (between F#m and G) G|-----2-----| D|-2h4---4-2-| riff 2 (play before the D at the start of each verse after intro riff) A|-0-0-2-2-4-4-| this also came in handy when learning the song, and its worth a watch or 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMARptQnc-Y
