Chords

As recorded by Elvis Costello (From the 1979 Album ARMED FORCES) [Intro] A G A G [Verse 1]
A
Times are tough for English babies

G
Send the army and the navy

A
Beat up strangers who talk funny

G
Take their greasy foreign money

A
Skin shop, red leather, hot line

G
Be prepared for the engaged sign

D
Bridal books, engagement rings

    E                      A
And other wicked little things
[Chorus]
D
Standing in your socks and vest

E
Better get it off your chest

D
Every day is just like the rest

       A     E
But Sunday's best
[Verse 2]
A
Stylish slacks to suit your pocket

G
Back supports and picture lockets

A
Sleepy towns and sleeper trains

G
To the dogs and down the drains

A
Major roads and ladies smalls

G
Hearts of oak and long trunk calls

D
Continental interference

E                              C#m
At death's door with life insurance
[Chorus]
D
Standing in your socks and vest

E
Better get it off your chest

D
Every day is just like the rest

       A     E
But Sunday's best
[Bridge]
D
Sunday's best, Sunday's finest

E
When your money's in the minus

D
And you suffer from your shyness

E                       A
You can listen to us whiners
[Verse 3]
A
Don't look now under the bed

   G
An arm, a leg and a severed head

A
Read about the private lives

    G
The songs of praise, the readers' wives

A
Listen to the decent people

G
Though you treat them just like sheep

D
Put them all in boots and khaki

E                         A E
Blame it all upon the darkiiies
[Chorus]
D
Standing in your socks and vest

E
Better get it off your chest

D
Every day is just like the rest

       A     E
But Sunday's best

D  A     E
Sunday's best

D  A     E
Sunday's best

D        A
Sunday's best
[Outro] D A D A D
