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
