Composer: Elvis Costello If you want to miss the descending bass note at the end of all the verses it could instead be played as... ...that would follow him a - round! Elvis just goes straight for the B7 rather than the B major... ...that would follow him around! On the record and in early TV appearances he plays E4 chords in the intro and verses. In some later concert videos Elvis plays F#m11 instead of the E4 chords. In the choruses Elvis just plays a straight E chord the E/G# is suggested by the bass guitar progression. = 022100 = x24442 = x02220 = 022200 / = x04442 dim = x1232x = x44200 / = 4x444x = x21202 C#m = x46654 Please select a star rating for this tab many thanks ============================================================================= [Intro] | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Verse 1] So this is where he came to hide----- when he ran from you? In a private detective overcoat and dirty dead men’s shoes The pretty things of Knightsbridge ...lying for a Minister of State Are a far cry from the nod and wink here at Traitors’ Gate ’Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him a - round---------!

Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning You drink yourself insensitive and hate your - self in the morning! [Chorus 3] To murder my love is a crime------ But will ...you ...still--- love-------- a man out of time------? [Coda] Will ...you ...still--- love-------- a man out of time-----?
