Green Shirt Tabulatur von Elvis Costello (für Baryton)

C
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
                              F
Who comes into my house every night.
        C
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
                                  F
And she turns them into black and white.

[Chorus]
        C              F        
But you tease, and you flirt
        Bb            F          C          F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
        Bb                  F                C
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it


       Bb           F          C   
Better cut off all identifying labels
  Bb                F              C
Before they put you on the torture table

[Verse 2]
C
'Cause somewhere in the Quisling Clinic
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
F x2
      C
She's listening in to the Venus line
She's picking out names
                        F      
I hope none of them are mine
Fx2

[Chorus]

Bb                 F
Never said I was a stool pigeon
Bb                   F
I never said I was a diplomat
Bb            F
Everybody is under suspicion
    C                          F
But you don't wanna hear about that

[Chorus]
'Cause you tease, and you flirt ...


       Bb             F             C          F
Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Bb              F               C       F
  Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?

[Chorus]

You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
