Alibi
from the album "When I Was Cruel"  2002
Lyrics and Music by Elvis Costello

Chords figured out by Michael Jorgensen from Elvis Costello's
new album When I Was Cruel as compared with the live version from the live
BBC Broadcast in November 1999.

Note* The album version is much longer than the live versions available prior
to the release of "When I Was Cruel."  Extra verses and choruses have been
added to the album version.  The album version also seems to be moved up a
half step from the many live versions I have heard prior to "When I Was
Cruel."  Also the E7 on the chorus may not be exactly correct, but it sounds
great on my 12 string!


Alibi

F#m7
You did it, 'cause you...

D      E
Alibi, alibi

F#m7
And you took it, 'cause...

D        E
Alibi, alibi


CHORUS:

A      E         E7        A
But if I've done something...

There's no ifs and...

A         E       E7      A
'Cause I love you just...

Alibi...

F#m7
You deserve it...

Alibi...

F#m7
Maybe Jesus wants you...

D       E
Alibi...


CHORUS


C             Em
Sometimes I'm so...

F                G
Everything seems bad...

C           Em
But I can't go on...

With this alibi...


F#m7
Insane, but I'm...

You wanted to...
