Costello Elvis - Alison tab

From: Dirt Bird 


Oops, I got the words wrong, silly me.


B     A  C#m B    F#m G#m B

           A                          E
Oh it's so funny to be seein'ya after so long girl
             A                              G#m          C#m B
and with the way you look I understand that you are not impress
A                                G#m       C#m
 But I heard you let that little friend of mine
D                    B
 take off your party dress
A                  G#m      C#m    B
 I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those 
A                   G#m  C#m B
other sticky valentines
A                                G#m        C#m
 'cause I don't know if you were lovin' somebody
  D                  B
I only know it isn't mine.

A  E      A         B        G#m     C#m  B
Alison, I know this world is killing you, oh
A  E   A   B      E
Alison, my aim is true.

Well I see you got a husband now
did he leave your pretty fingers lyin' in the weddin' cake
You used to hold him right in your hand
but it took all he could take
Sometimes I wish I could stop you from talking when I
hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'cause I can't stand to see you this way

Alison, I know this world is killing you, oh
Alison, my aim is true,
D   B      E  A D   B      E
 My aim is true, my aim is true ...

   Alison, my aim is true


   Well I hear you got a husband now
   Did he leave your pretty fingers
   Lying in the wedding cake?
   You used to hold him in the palm of your hand
   I'll bet he took all that he could take
   Sometimes I wish tht I could stop you from talking
   When I hear the silly things that you say
   I thing somebody better put out the big light
   Cos I can't stand to see you this way

   CH
