Green Shirt by Elvis Costello
Green Shirt
*verse 1*
C
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
F
That comes into my room every night
C
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
F
And she turns them into black and white.
*chorus*
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
Bb F C
You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it
Bb F C
Better cut off all identifying labels
Bb F G
Before they get you on the touture table
*same as first verse*
Cause somewhere in the quisling clinic
There's a short time typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening into the Venus line
She's picking out names, I hope none of them are mine
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
Bb F C
You can tease yourself, but somebody's going to get it

Never said I was a stool pigeon
Bb F
Never said I was a diplomat
Bb F
Everybody is under suspicion but
C F
You don't want to hear about that
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt

Bb F C F
Better send the naked ledger to the big investigation
Bb F C F
Who put these finger prints on my imagination
*same as verse 1*
There are wives in the windows
There are wives in the walls
There are wives in the kitchens
And wives in the halls
There are wives on poles
There are wives in your face
There are wives in holes
Coming out all over the place
C
And you tease
F
And you flirt
Bb Bb/A Bb/G F
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt

You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it
You can please yourself, but somebody's going to get it
