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.

He selects the plainest face form a spiteful row of girls
E B A G#7
Elegant insulted women, a flaw of cultured pearls
C#m G#m G# C#m

He drops a name or two, she fails to catch

At last he's met his match

Unspoiled and unaffected, he wants her so much
[intro E]

She puts up half-hearted resistance, like she was taught to do
E B A G#7
She's heard some of those small town playboys but this is something new
C#m G#m G# C#m
His promise seems dangerous, she'd like to believe
A E
He says "You'd better leave"

"You've only got yourself to blame, shame, or deceive"

I failed to interrupt
E B
You're so hard to tell the truth too

So easy to corrupt
C#m G#m
I'll memorize your face
G# C#m
Your tragic smile
A E
The hurt look in your eyes
B E
As you betrayed yourself to the part of him that dies
E7 A
The waiting lines are long
Am E
They never get too far

They're shining up their shoes to kick a falling star

You think you should be somebody

But you don't know who you are
