Green Shirt Tab par Elvis Costello

[verse1]
          Bb          F          C          F
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
    C                          F
Who comes into my house every night.
        Bb            F            C          F
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
C                                 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

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

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

[Chorus]
But you tease...

[bridge]
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 ...

[post chorus]
       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]

[Verse 3]
              Bb           F                  C            F
There are  wires in the windows, there are wires in the wall
          C                                     F
There are wires in the kitchen and wires in the halls
          Bb       F         C             F       
There are wires on poles and wires on your face
          C                                          F                                                   
There are wires in the holes coming out all over the place

[Chorus]
But you ...

[Outro]
        Bb                  F                C
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
        Bb                  F                C
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
