Hello,

Here are a few more chord charts (not really TAB after all)
for some Elvis Costello songs.

Don't forget to use a single spaced font for this!

Please let me know if there are any errors, corrections, and so on.

Thanks,

Em (022000@1)       BOh (x2444x@1)darling how I miss you
    C (x32010@1)                        GI'm (320003@1)just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
Am7 (x02010@1)                  DI (xx0232@1)crave the silhouette of your kiss
     G (320003@1)                        DWith (xx0232@1)only the blue light of the TV on
Em (022000@1)                    BLip (x2444x@1)reading threats and false alarms
              C (x32010@1)                     GThere's (320003@1)a boy somewhere holding hands with himself

    C (x32010@1)           C#dim (3423xx@1)          G (320003@1)        BWhenever (x2444x@1)I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
Em (022000@1)                   AThat (x02220@1)it's you that I'm dreaming about
     Cm (x3101x@1)                  CDo (x32010@1)I have to draw you a diagram?
    C#dim (3423xx@1)     G (320003@1)             Am (x02210@1)                  EmAll (022000@1)I ever want is just to fall into your human hands

G (320003@1)                              DWith (xx0232@1)the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Em (022000@1)                     BCheckmate (x2444x@1)in three moves in your heyday
        C (x32010@1)                        GBut (320003@1)the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Am7 (x02010@1)              DNow (xx0232@1)you're part of someone else

       G (320003@1)                   D (xx0232@1)                   EmOn (022000@1)the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
        B (x2444x@1)              CNow (x32010@1)you manufacture happiness
             G (320003@1)                             DAnd (xx0232@1)get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

(chorus)

G (320003@1)                      DAll (xx0232@1)you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Em (022000@1)                         BAre (x2444x@1)you living in this world sometimes I wonder
     C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)               Am7 (x02010@1)                 DIn (xx0232@1)between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before

G (320003@1)                   DTighter (xx0232@1)and tighter I hold you tightly
EmYou (022000@1)know I love you more than slightly
         G (320003@1)        Am7 (x02010@1)             DAlthough (xx0232@1)I've never said it like this before
