Elvis Costello – Invasion Hit Parade (Guitar)

Dm                         C
Now that you set everybody free

G7                    C
What are you going to do about me?

      Dm                           C
Don`t want to be treated like some poor grateful clown

    G                     C
I`d rather go back to the sweet underground

                        A7                Dm
Where I can tell by the color of my skin

              Am                     G                C
And I know my neighbor `cos he`s the one, yes he`s the one

                 Dm
Who always turns me in

                                C
A woman works the tunnel in the middle of the night

G                     C
Picking up every lost object in sight

Dm                      C                   G
Handbags, toupees, lost legs and fingernails

    C                    A
Her transistor offers no salvation or regrets

   Dm       Dm7         Am
No pool, no pets, no cigarettes

             G          C
Just non-stop Disco Tex and the Sex-o-lettes

D          Am  G D               Am   G
There`s no name, no name for the place

   F#               Bm  B         Em
Or pain we`ll cause you again and again

          G           D                    Dm  F    G
If you do not co-operate with the invasion hit parade

    Dm                     Dm7
The liberation forces make movies of their own

C                                  G
Playing their Doors records and pretending to be stoned

Dm                            C
Drowning out a broadcast that wasn't authorized

G                           C
Incidentally the revolution will be televised

                               A
With one head for business and another for good looks

Dm                    Am                      G                C
Until they started arriving with their rubber aprons and their butcher`s hooks

D          Am  G D               Am   G
There`s no name, no name for the place

   F#               Bm  B         Em
Or pain we`ll cause you again and again

          G           D                    Dm  F   G
If you do not co-operate with the invasion hit parade

        Dm                        C
They`re hunting us down here with Liberty`s light

  G                              C
A handshaking double talking procession of the mighty

Dm                         C
Pursued by a T.V. crew and coming after them

  G                                   C
A limousine of singing stars and their brotherhood anthem

                           A7
The former dictator was impeccably behaved

        Dm                   Am                     G          C
They`re mopping up all the stubborn ones who just refuse to be saved

D          Am  G D               Am   G
There`s no name, no name for the place

   F#               Bm  B         Em
Or pain we`ll cause you again and again

          G           D                      Dm   F G
If you do not co-operate with the invasion hit parade
