Here's Elvis Costello's "Inch by Inch" off of "Goodbye Cruel
World". Listen to the bass line as to where to come in with the
b d f# notes - you can leave them out, but if playing by
yourself, it adds a lot. The notes have been left out of the
verses.
Intro B D F# G Bm
*verse 1*
G Bm
You can take a powder you can take a drink
G Bm
You can keep the shrink and the kitchen sink
Bm Bm/A Bm/G B
Write my name in heaven in invisible ink
B F#m Bm F#m
I just woke up from dreaming, I think
*verse 2*
G Bm
You can take me over you can give me a lip
G Bm
You can take me under you can give me the slip
Bm Bm/A Bm/G B
Take off everything or tear me off a strip
F#m
Like a lady in the camber and another in the clip
*chorus*
G Em
Don't move a muscle baby
Bm Em
Don't even flinch
Bm Bm/A Bm/G
You can miss me by a mile
B Em Bm
Or just inch by inch
G
Inch by inch, Inch by inch
Em F#m Bm
You can pull me up again inch by inch
G
Inch by inch, as pulses race
Em F#m Bm G Bm
I long to see that look upon your face
*verse 3 same as verse 2*
You can take me outside you can take me apart
You can take me upstairs you can take me to heart
You made me love you when you thought you were smart
Don't try to stop me when you told me to start
*same as other chorus*
Don't move a muscle baby
Don't even flinch
You can miss me by a mile
Or just inch by inch
Inch by inch, Inch by inch
You can pull me up again inch by inch
Inch by inch, as pulses race
I long to see that look upon your face
Em F#m Bm (fade)
I long to see that look upon your face
