There’s A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis
Kirsty MacColl
[A] Oh darling why you talk so fast
Another evening just flew past to[E7]night
And now the daybreak's coming in,...
And I can't wait.... and it ain’t [A] right
[A] You told me all you've done and seen
And all the places [A7] you have been with[D]out me
Well I don't really want to know but [A] I’ll stay quiet and then I'll go
And [E7] you won't have no cause to think a[A]bout me
[A] There’s a guy works down the [E7] chip shop swears he's [A] Elvis [A7]
Just [D] like you swore to me that you'd be [E7] true
There’s a [A] guy works down the [E7] chip shop swears he's [F#m] Elvis [D]
But [A] he's a liar and [E7] I'm not sure about [A] you
[A] Oh darling you're so popular
You were the best thing new in [E7] Hicksville
With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
News is you changed your pick-up for a Se[A]ville
And now I'm lying here alone
And you’re out there on the [A7] phone with some star in [D] New York
I can hear you laughing now and [A] can't help feeling that somehow
You [E7] don't mean anything you say at [A] all
[A] There’s a guy works down the [E7] chip shop swears he's [A] Elvis [A7]
Just [D] like you swore to me that you'd be [E7] true
There’s a [A] guy works down the [E7] chip shop swears he's [F#m] Elvis [D]
But [A] he's a liar and [E7] I'm not sure about [A] you
