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
