THERE'S A GUY WORKS DOWN THE CHIP SHOP SWEARS HE'S ELVIS by Kirsty MacColl

G
Oh darling why you talk so fast
D
Another evening just flew past tonight

And now the daybreak's coming in
G
And I can't wait and it aint right

G
You told me all you've done and seen
C
And all the places you have been without me

Well I don't really want to know
G
But I'll stay quiet and then I'll go
D G
And you won't have no cause to think about me

CHORUS:
G C G
Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
C G
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
G C G
Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
D G
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

G
Oh darling you're so popular
D
You were the best thing new in Hicksville

With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
G
News is you changed your pick-up for a Stockville

G
And now I'm lying here alone
C
And your out there on the phone with some star in New York

I can hear you laughing now
G
And can't help feeling that somehow
D G
You don't mean anything you say at all

CHORUS (x2)

Last line repeat three times
