Sunday's Best Elvis Costello
INTRO:
A |A |A |A |G |G |G |G |
A |A |A |A |G |G |G |G |
A G
Times are tough for English babies Send the army and the navy
A G
Beat up strangers who talk funny Take their greasy foreign money
A G
Skin shop, red leather, hot line Be prepared for the engaged sign
D E
Bridal books, engagement rings And other wicked little things
CHORUS:
D E
Standing in your socks and vest Better get it off your chest
D D A/C# E/B
Every day is just like the rest But Sunday's best
A G
Stylish slacks to suit your pocket Back supports and picture lockets
A G
Sleepy towns and sleeper trains To the dogs and down the drains
A G
Major roads and ladies smalls Hearts of oak and long trunk calls
D E
Continental interference At death's door with life insurance
CHORUS
D E
Sunday's best, Sunday's finest When your money's in the minus
D E
And you suffer from your shyness You can listen to us whiners
A G
Don't look now under the bed An arm, a leg and a severed head
A G
Read about the private lives The songs of praise, the readers' wives
A G
Listen to the decent people Though you treat them just like sheep
D E
Put them all in boots and khaki Blame it all upon the darkies
CHORUS
D A/C# E/B D A/C# E/B D A/C# E/B D A/C# E/B
Sunday's best Sunday's best Sunday's best Sunday's best
ENDING FADE OUT:
D A/C# | E/B E | D A/C# | E/B E |
