HARPIES BIZARRE / Elvis Costello --------------------------------
By Declan Patric Aloysius MacManus From Elvis Costello's "Mighty Like a Rose", (c) 1991
The lyrics were type by one anonymous who provided the lyrics for the album, available via ftp from cs.uwp.edu. The "Intro E" sections for organ can be played on guitar, as transcribed in TAB (using TAB MASTER). The little woodwind instrument solo is not [yet!] transcribed, but the chords are available, with added beat measures: 7xE 1xB mean that in two 4/4 bars, play 7 beats of chord E, and then 1 beat of B. Enjoy! Comments/corrections/additions/ideas/questions are always welcome, at my e-mail address: [email protected]

EBAB He selects the plainest face form a spiteful row of girls EBAG#7 Elegant insulted women, a flaw of cultured pearls C#mG#mG#C#m C#mG#mG#C#m He drops a name or two, she fails to catch AE At last he's met his match BE Unspoiled and unaffected, he wants her so much
[intro E]
EBAB She puts up half-hearted resistance, like she was taught to do EBAG#7 She's heard some of those small town playboys but this is something new C#mG#mG#C#m His promise seems dangerous, she'd like to believe AE He says "You'd better leave" BE "You've only got yourself to blame, shame, or deceive"
E7A The waiting lines are long AmE They never get too far B Everyone wearing that medal with pride E Harpies Bizarre
EB I looked on but hesitated AB I failed to interrupt EB You're so hard to tell the truth too AG#7 So easy to corrupt C#mG#m I'll memorize your face G#C#m Your tragic smile AE The hurt look in your eyes BE As you betrayed yourself to the part of him that dies
E7A The waiting lines are long AmE They never get too far E7AAmE They're shining up their shoes to kick a falling star E7A You think you should be somebody AmE But you don't know who you are B Everyone wearing that medal with pride E Harpies Bizarre
