Theres A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Tab

by Kirsty Maccoll


Oh darling why d'you talk so fast
                                 
Another evening just flew past tonight

And now the daybreak's coming in
                             
And I can't win and it ain't right

You tell me all you've done and seen
                                     
And all the places you have been without me

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

                                                
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
                                       
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
                                                F#min    
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
                                     
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you


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

With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
                                       
Lou says you changed your pickup for a Seville

And now I'm lying here alone
                                                         
'Cause you're out there on the phone to some star in New York

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

                                                
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
                                       
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
                                                F#min    
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
                                     
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

                                        F#min      
I said he's a liar and I'm not sure about yooooouuuuuuuu
                                 
He's a liar and I'm not sure about you
