Don't forget to use a single spaced font for this! Please let me know if there are any errors, corrections, and so on. Thanks, michael michael@magick.net Lyrics from: http://east.isx.com/~schnitzi/ec/albums.html Chords from the songbook, mostly +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Pidgin English By Elvis Costello >From the album: Imperial Bedroom INTRO: D D7 G D D7 G
DThere's a young girl with her D7old man who's Gtoo sick to Dmention She'll be Dturning twenty seD7ven as she Gdraws her widow's Dpension But he Dcouldn't catch a D7common cold he Gcouldn't get arresDted Too Dterrified to D7answer back Too Gtired to have resD7isted GMany hands make Clight work ShortGhand makes life easy When he's out on Cnight work Make Gsure no one sees me It Dall ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises A A7change is better than a rest
Silly beggars can't be choosers CHORUS:
GOne of a thousand pities you can't Dcategorize There are Gten comAmandments of Bmlove GWhen will you Drealise
There are ten commandments of love
AI believe, I trust, I promise, I Gwish love's just a Emthrowaway Em7kiss DIn this Pidgin English
If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes
Take it to the bridge she Csighs DYou go cheep cheep D7cheep between bullsG-eyes and Dbluster DStiff as your poD7ker face GKeener than musDtard >From yDour own bD7ack yard to Gthe land oDf exotica >From Dthe truthD7 society to GneuroticD7 erotica GSilence is golCden Money talks Gdiamonds and ermine There's a Gword in CSpanish ItaGlian and German In Dsign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish Have A7you forgotten how to say it
In your Pidgin English' (chorus)
DPS I love you (and so on . . . )
