Hello,

Here are a few more chord charts (not really TAB after all)
for some Elvis Costello songs.

Don't forget to use a single spaced font for this!

Please let me know if there are any errors, corrections, and so on.

Thanks,

Human Hands
By Elvis Costello
From the album: Imperial Bedroom


C#dim = XX2323

INTRO:
Dsus4 F6

G D
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Em B
Oh darling how I miss you
C G
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
Am7 D
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
G D
With only the blue light of the TV on
Em B
Lip reading threats and false alarms
C G
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
Am7 D
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn

C C#dim G B
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
Em A
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Cm C
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
C#dim G Am Em
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands

G D
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Em B
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
C G
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Am7 D
Now you're part of someone else

G D Em
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
B C
Now you manufacture happiness
G D
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

(chorus)

G D
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Em B
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
C G Am7 D
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before

G D
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
Em
You know I love you more than slightly
G Am7 D
Although I've never said it like this before

(chorus)
