A beautifully haunting little ballad by EC&A. One of my faves from Goodbye Cruel World, and it was pretty easy to figure out. Song is in 3/4 time and the key of D Major. Intro: F C A Verse 1: D Out of the aeroplane stepped Chamberlain with a condemned man's stare D D But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken, D7 G as he waved a piece of paper in the air Em Em/D# Em7 A Now the Disco Machine lives in Munich and we are all friends A7 A And I slip on my Italian dancing shoes as the evening descends Chorus: D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime G Bm Em A And we can thank God that we've finally got D peace in our time [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/e/elvis-costello/327852.html ] Verse 2: D There's a man going round taking names no matter who you claim to be D As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies, D7 G you're still a part of some conspiracy Em Em/D# Meanwhile there's a light over the ocean Em7 A burning brighter than the sun A7 And a man sits alone in a bar and says "Oh God, A what have we done?" Chorus: D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime G Bm Em A And we can thank God that we've finally got D peace in our time Instrumental Bridge: D A7 F# Bm E A Bm Verse 3: D They're lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land D Just another tiny island invaded when he's got D7 G the whole world in his hands Em Em/D# And the Heavyweight Champion fights in the Em7 A International Propaganda Star Wars A7 There's already one spaceman in the White A House, what do you want another one for? Chorus: D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime G Bm Em A And we can thank God that we've finally got Outro: D peace in our time. A7 F# Bm E A Bm F# D A7 D |
