Declan Patrick MacManus nacido en Londres el 25 de agosto de 1954, conocido como Elvis Costello, es un músico, cantante y compositor británico.
Se inició en la escena pub-rock londinense a mitad de los 70 desde donde vio llegar como observador privilegiado la New Wave y el punk, movimientos con los que se asoció.
En 1975 McManus llevaba una aparente vida convencional, casado y con hijo, y empleándose en diferentes trabajos administrativos. No obstante
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Here's my best stab at this song. Parts of it seem to be not quite right (especially the part where Elvis is stating whose turn it is to do what). Improvements are more than welcome. --Mark
DGD Now it's just you and me, my blue friend D And you say that it's you that she's thinking of GF#7 And our affair must end D But if it's you that she's thinking of GF#7 I think my broken heart might mend
GF#mEmD Now it's my turn to talk and your turn to think GADG Your turn to buy and my turn to drink GF#mEmD Your turn to cry and my turn to sink GEm Down in the Blue Chair GAD Down in the Blue Chair
Now I've made up my mind I've made my mistake And I know that she cries for you When she's barely awake Well she's going to bend your mind Well I hope it don't break
[Repeat chorus]
Em Down in the Blue Chair F#mG We can watch our troubles rise F#mEm Like smoke into the air AD And drift up to the ceiling Em Down in the Blue Chair F#mGF#m You can feel just like a boy or a man EmAD And next minute you can find yourself kneeling F#m Down in the Blue Chair G#mAG#m They're boasting of loving the daylights F#mG#mBm right out of her in the small hours Em Down in the Blue Chair F#mGF#m You say that your love lasts forever EmGAA/GA/F#A/E when you know the night just hours uh ho ho ho ho ho
And still I want her right now Not any minute, hour or day And wherever she is tonight I want her anyway I suppose she never said to you, You were just in the way
GF#mEmD Now it's my turn to talk and your turn to think GADG Your turn to buy and my turn to drink GF#mEmD Your turn to cry and my turn to sink GEm Down in the Blue Chair GAD Down in the Blue Chair GBm Down in the Blue Chair BbAD [N.C.] Down in the Blue Chair
GAD Down in the Blue Chair GAD Down in the Blue Chair GAB7 Down in the Blue Chair
EmF#m Down in the blue GBm Blue becomes you GAD Down in the Blue Chair

C/E would just be a normal C chord with an open E in the bass. (EC uses C/E a lot)
The A# augmented chord is weird and has something else in it, possible an open E? My best guess for a fingering would be:
E string: deadened A string: 1st finger on 1st fret D string: 4th finger on 4th fret G string: 2nd finger on 3rd fret B string: 3rd finger on 3rd fret E string: Open
I don't know, though-I've never seen Elvis live-sigh-I have a laser disc of The Juliet Letters, but of course he doesn't play guitar on that one.
The bridge is also strange-you have the right bassline: E F# G F# E (B) A D, but I think the chord just stays on Emi, although some instrument other than the guitar keeps hinting at D#'s
[The early 70's dylan inflections are beautiful in this section]
The second part of the bridge (boasting of loving the daylights...) sounds like the first part transposed up a whole step, so F#mi, F#mi/G#, F#mi/A, etc.
Then back to the Emi
and then when he says "you know the night just hours" [what does he mean by that?] the bass goes: E and then in 8th notes: F# G F# G, still all against some kind of Emi. I'm just playing the bass line and plucking the G B and E strings open for the E mi On the F#mi part, I'm barring the 2nd fret to get the 3 highest strings and then playing the bassline on the low string.
Your descending bassline coming down against the A chord is right, as is the rest of the transcription.
I hope my carriage returns aren't coming out weird. Let me know.
Now I've got to go buy the CD to hear it better. I was going to wait for the box set reissues to get to this album.
Does anyone know when the next box set is due to be released?

Looks good to me except that the chorus might be a bit different: > > GF#mEmD > Now it's my turn to talk and your turn to think > GADG > Your turn to buy and my turn to drink > GF#mEmD > Your turn to cry and my turn to sink > GEm
