Clowntime Is Over
(Elvis Costello from the album Get Happy! - Words and Music by Elvis
Costello)
Transcribed by D. W. Bennett

Intro: C F C Csus4 Ab G
C F
Tears on your blackmail
Am Dm
Written to ransom
C F
A point of the fingernail
Am Dm
Says that he`s handsome
C F
Clowntime is over
Ab F
Time to take cover
C F
While others just talk and talk
Am Dm G
Somebody`s watching where the others don`t walk
G C
Clowntime is over

A voice in the shadows
Says that his men know
He don`t step back as expected
He`s otherwise and unprotected

Chorus
C F
Almost too good to be true
Am Dm
Who do you? why do you? what do you do?
C F
While everybody`s hiding under covers
Am Dm Dm/E Dm/F G
Who`s making lover`s lane safe again for lovers?

Chorus

I like to end with the intro followed by a sustained C12 (open C chord with a
high G added) chord.
