Аккорды Elvis Costello - Clown Strike

[Intro]
G Am G Am

[Verse 1]
G                      Am
She`ll fix you with an iron cross
G                     Am
And cover you up with petals
G                         Am
And hang you up with some amber beads
G                         Am
And four or five precious metals
G                    Am
And in that black flamingo chair
G                    Am
You`ll sit among her trophies
G              Am
And pray to be abandoned
G                        Am
Till you don`t know what hope is

[Chorus]
G               C            Em            Am
But there`s one thing that I had to keep inside
G             C
Because I was shaking
    Em                 Am
Why don`t you get some pride
            Em
There was a clown strike
Em
And the clowns threw down their tools
        C
But you don`t have to play so hard
Em
And I`m nobody`s fool
          G             Am7
You don`t have to go so far
          G   Am7        G Am7
`Cause I love you as you are

[Verse 2]
    G            Am
The big top is deserted now
        G           Am
And the circus girl rehearses
G                Am
She knows how to turn their heads
    G               Am
And not fall between two horses
    G                Am
But all that seems a simple step
G              Am
If only I were able
   G               Am
To love you like I want to do
    G                 Am
And not by some times table

[Chorus]
G               C            Em            Am
But there`s one thing that I had to keep inside
G             C
Because I was shaking
    Em                 Am
Why don`t you get some pride
            Em
There was a clown strike
Em
And the clowns threw down their tools
        C
But you don`t have to play so hard
Em
And I`m nobody`s fool
          G             Am7
You don`t have to go so far
          G   Am7        G Am7
`Cause I love you as you are

[Refrain]
         C
And it`s pandemonium
        Am7            G
For the humble and the mighty
          Am      G/B    C
You don`t have to tumble for me
Cm                         Em
Even a clown knows when to strike

[Verse 3]
G                Am
Tell me what you want of me
           G            Am
Or are you terrified of failure?
G                  Am
You put on a superstitious face
G                       Am
Behind all this paraphernalia
G                     Am
We`re not living in a masquerade
      G                   Am
Where you only have three wishes
G        Am
It isn't easy to see
     G                    Am
In a lifetime of mistaken kisses

[Chorus]
G               C            Em            Am
But there`s one thing that I had to keep inside
G             C
Because I was shaking
    Em                 Am
Why don`t you get some pride
            Em
There was a clown strike
Em
And the clowns threw down their tools
        C
But you don`t have to play so hard
Em
And I`m nobody`s fool
          G             Am7
You don`t have to go so far
          G   Am7        G Am7
`Cause I love you as you are

[Refrain]
             C
In this it`s pandemonium
        Am7            G
For the humble and the mighty
          Am      G/B    C
You don`t have to tumble for me
Cm                         Em
Even a clown knows when to strike
