This Is Hell
tabbed by Damon S Linker (linkerda@student.msu.edu)
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
Eb Cm7 Ab6 G7
And I would try to catch you anytime you call
Cm7 Bb7
Only you drank that potion and went out of control
Eb Cm7 Ab6 G7
There's nothing to stop you so how can you fall
C Am
Let me take your hand
Bb/F D/F#
Put down that frying pan
G Em/B C G/D
Darkness would become me, underneath the table
Bm Em Am7 D7
As the fury raged around the house
G Em/B C G/D
Your despairing tread was angry and unstable
Bm Em
You never suspected
B Bdim C
Just as this cartoon mouse
E Am
Went undetected
C G/D D C
As you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
G Em/B C G/D
In another world of gin and cigarettes
Bm Em Am7 D7
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye
G Em/B C G/D
Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me
Bm Em
And if you don't believe me
B Bdim C
Before you start to cry
E Am
"Don't eve leave me."
C G/D D C
As you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
VERSES:
She wears a wedding ring her sister lent
Bm
To throw them off the scent
Em
Just let them guess, it's what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
Bm
She's discovered wearing last night's dress
Em
The carnal and cunning, she couldn't express
Who do you think she's trying to impress?
A D G
CHORUS:
I think you'd better hold your tongue
A Bm A G
Although you've never been that strong
A D Bm
I'm sorry to say that I knew all along
G A D Bm
You were no match for that sulky girl
G (Em?) A Em F#m
VERSE 2 - see verse 1
CHORUS
BRIDGE 1
Sulky girl
G D
I'm sure you look a picture when you cry
Em Bm G D F C F
But threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify
G D Em Bm G D F C F G
It's like money in the bank
(hold G) F C F G
Your expression is blank
(hold G) F C F G
But while the chance appears
The hardest part for me to hear is "never been that strong". The bass here
is just wicked! My trick for picking out hard basslines is to record the cd
onto a 2 speed tape deck at the slow speed and then listen to it at the
fast speed. This makes Mssr. Costello sound like Alvin the Chipmunk, but it
also brings the bassline up exactly one octave into the guitar's range and
makes the pitches very clear. The only problem is when the bass starts
playing really fast, like he's playing here.
Oh-wait-there's the McCartney chord! On the "though" of "although" the bass
is running up off of an E, so at the moment the guitar hits A, the bass is
on E, the fifth.
Here's another trick: rest your finger on pause and hit it right after he
says "although" and let the sound of it roll around in your head in the
ensuing silence. God I love Elvis Costello! Have you ever heard that song
that Prince wrote called "I Love You More Than I Did When You Were Mine"?.
It was covered by Cindy Lauper on her first album. Not that I'm a giant CL
fan, mind you, but what she said "I know" in "I know....that you're goin'
with another guy..." it killed me. I love that song. Anyway, "I know" is
the exact same rhythm, notes and rhyme as "Although" in this song, but EC
takes it a step further by putting the E in bass.
But I digress. On "never been that strong" the bass player, I think, goes D
D C B A G, so we've got D, D/C, G/B, and then he runs down to the root of
the G.
This is that 7th in the bass I was talking about. A D chord with a C in the
bass. This kind of chord loves to have the bass go down one fret to a chord
with the third in the bass: D/C to G/B. EC loves this progression and does
all sorts of exceedingly clever things with it.
But i digress-there's one more third in the bass chord right at the end of
the chorus. When he sings "I'm sorry to say that you knew all along" the
chords are like you have them, G A D G, but after the 2nd G chord comes the
D/F# again, on its way down to Emi A Emi F#mi.
But wait! If anyone has actually read this far, HOW WOULD YOU INTERPRET THE
LYRICS???
p.s. If you listen to Pony Street -"If you're going out tonight..." then on
"How can you be" is the McCartney chord again, G/D. Then on "When you lay
our pretty pal" (is that the words?) he goes to Ami with E in the bass. Two
McCartney chords in a row!-I haven't heard that since Pet Sounds. Try
singing that part of the song with just regular G and Ami-it just doesn't
make it. So-maybe elvis has been listening to the Beach Boys! God-I hope he
doesn't listen to the words!!!

Note: The cool thing about this song is the 'implied melody'
over the
drum part - something very similar to 'The Joker' by Steve
Miller Band,
except in the key of G. There are actually no chords played for
most of
the song, just a bass riff, but I've provided some easy guitar
transcription. Enjoy!
Verse Rhythym - G C D C
(Listen to record to get it right)
Verse 1The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands
The engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land
Bridge 1 Em Bm Am Bm C
I stood there stupefied, I thought I recognized
C D
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, getting lost
Verse 2 Shot through Vaseline, he picks up the paper from the lawn
And tucks "The Suburban Assassin" underneath his arm
Bridge 2 He smiles weakly and turns away - I know you'll never come to
harm
Walking down Rocking Horse Road, it's so peaceful
F#m Bm
It's like a photograph
F#m Bm
From the other side of the world
C D
I said "I want you only"
C D
And then I left you alone
C D (play verse rythym LOUD)
Crying on Rocking Horse Road, or somewhere quite like it
Verse 3 The cemetery gardens, there are names not numbers on the
gateposts
And the eyes in the curtain follow you like a smirking ghost
Bridge 3 Em Bm Am Bm C
I know I must not look back - 'Cause part of me is waiting still
C
There on Rocking Horse Road for you
Am
In a little dream house made for two
C D G C
Well you were the one that made your escape
C D G C
In your stocking feet and your sticky tape
C D G C
All the way down [repeat to fade]
Just About Glad
Tabbed by Mark Schnitzius (schnitzi@east.isx.com)
D
I'm just about glad that I knew you once
G D
And it was more than just a passing acquaintance
D
I'm just about glad that it was a memory
G D
That doesn't need constant maintenance
G D
There are a few things that I regret
G Em
But nothing that I need to forget
G Bm Em G A
For all of the courage that we never had
G D
I'm just about glad
CHORUS:
G D A D
Just about glad we didn't do that thing
G D A D
Just about glad we didn't have that fling
G D A D
Just about glad we didn't give it a try
G D A D
CHORUS
A D
Is that a tear in your eye
A D
Is that a tear in your eye
All The Rage
tabbed by "Eddie Thornley" <ISSUET@razor.wbs.warwick.ac.uk>
I don't pretend that this is as good as chords have been typed in before
but it should give you a start. I picked this song first because it's
one of the easiest.
D, F#m, Bm, D7, G, Bm, Em, Em7, A, D, A, Bbdim, D, F#m, Bm, Em,
Em6, C#dim7, D,
Bm, Gm, Bbm, F, Am, Dm, G :| play three times
Figure hanging on a leather band
Cog consults the watch he cups in his hand
Bejewelled movement measures lost and vanished time
Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold earth and quicklime
CHORUS:
So stay the hands, arrest the time
Till I am captured by your touch
Blessings I don't count
Small mercies and such
The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour
Now there's a tragic waste of brutal youth
Strip and polish this unvarnished truth
The tricky door that gapes beneath the ragged noose
The crippled verdict begs again for the lamest excuse
CHORUS
Put out my eyes so I may never spy
Waving branches as they're waving goodbye
Their vile perfume brings to my mouth a bitter taste
The murmuring brooks had best speak up, it's a terrible waste
CHORUS
