Biography:

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus on 25 August 1954) is an internationally known English singer-songwriter. Gaining prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-70s, he burst into fame with his critically acclaimed 1977 debut 'My Aim Is True', still one of the most successful debuts of all time. He soon did much work in the genres of punk rock, power pop, and New Wave after he formed Elvis Costello & The Attractions.

[Verse 1]
D G
This cruel country has driven me down,
A D G A
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied,
D G
I've only sad stories to tell to this town,
A A7 D
My dreams have withered, and ...died!

[Verse 2]
G F#m Em
Once I was bending the ...tops of the trees,
F#m Em Em7 A
Kind thoughts in my head, kind voices to hear!

D G
Then I took up with a girl from the west,
A D G A
Played run and hide, played run and hide,
D G
Count one to ten, and she's gone like the rest,
A A7 D
My dreams have withered and died!

[Verse 4]
G F#m Em
If I was a butterfly, lived for a day,
F#m Em Em7 A
I could be free, just blowing a - way!

D D/F# G
Silver moon sail up, and silver moon - shine,
A D G A
On the waters so wide, waters so wide,
D D/F# G
Slipped from the bed of a good friend of mine,
A A7 D
My dreams have withered and died!

[Verse 6]
G F#m Em
Once I was bending the ...tops of the trees,
F#m Em Em7 A
Kind thoughts in my head, kind voices to hear!

This cruel country has driven me down,

My dreams have withered, and died,
