Elvis Costello & The Attractions – Big Sisters Clothes (Guitar)

 E             C#m     A        B                  E
Sheep to the slaughter, oh I thought this must be love

                   C#m     A               B                
All your sons and daughters, in a stranglehold with a kid glove

 G                   Em    C          D
She's got eyes like saucers, oh you think she's a dish

 G          Em               C            B7
She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish

          Em               G                C       B7            Em
But it's easier to say "I love you", than "Yours sincerely" I suppose

            G       C              B7            C       B7            C
All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes, big sister's clothes

      G       Cm                     G                    Cm                  Em
The sport of kings, the old queen's heart, the prince in darkness stole some tart

                 C                    Em                  C                   B7
And it's in the papers, it's in the charts, it's in the stop press before it all starts

        E                      C#m  A               B  
With a hammer on the slap and tickle, under grisly garments

      E            C#m        A                     B  
With all the style and finesse, of the purchase of armaments

    G                   Em    C                     D
Compassion went out of fashion, that's all your concern meant

  G               Em                C       B7
Sweat it out for thirty seconds on home improvements

          Em               G                C       B7            Em
But it's easier to say "I love you", than "Yours sincerely" I suppose

  G                 C              B7            C       B7            C
All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes, big sister's clothes

 B7            C       B7            Em
Big sister's clothes, big sister's clothes
