THERE'S A GUY WORKS DOWN THE CHIP SHOP SWEARS HE'S ELVIS by Kirsty MacColl
G
Oh darling why you talk so fast
D
Another evening just flew past tonight
And now the daybreak's coming in
G
And I can't wait and it aint right
G
You told me all you've done and seen
C
And all the places you have been without me
Well I don't really want to know
G
But I'll stay quiet and then I'll go
D G
And you won't have no cause to think about me
CHORUS:
G C G
Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
C G
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
G C G
Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
D G
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you
G
Oh darling you're so popular
D
You were the best thing new in Hicksville
With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
G
News is you changed your pick-up for a Stockville
G
And now I'm lying here alone
C
And your out there on the phone with some star in New York
I can hear you laughing now
G
And can't help feeling that somehow
D G
You don't mean anything you say at all
CHORUS (x2)
Last line repeat three times
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MACCOLL KRISTY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
