Elvis Costello - Kid About It
 
I got the version of this song from a Youtube post of him doing it acoustically
(Milwaukee, 10 June 2014). Plus working also from what was here. The ending is different from
album version. I feel I got it pretty close and took liberties (pun) lol to add the big jazzy
G major chord for the last chord ending it.
 
 
G                      F#m  B9
He saw no tears in her eyes
Em                         A
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G                          F#m
She's telling all of those lies
    B9                        Em
She swore she'd never told before
 
But I doubt it
 
   C
So he bit his tongue
    Bm                        Am
And tried hard to capture his breath
                              D
When she said I waited all my life
                  D/F#
For just a little death
 
                 G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it
B9               Em7
Say you wouldn't kid about it
Asus9               G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it
B9                Em           Eb7 (XX1323) or (x6564x)
Say you wouldn't kid about it
 
C                          Em
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
C                          Em
She makes her movements mysteriously
             F         Dm   F7
Slow fast or    furiously
C
It's a big responsibility
       Em
With a face full of mixed ability
C
Big dreams of elegance
Em           F          C
Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"
    Dsus4/F#           D7/F#
And turning into Americans
 
                 G
Say you wouldn't kid about it
 
G                          F#m    B9
So what if this is a man's world
  Em                           A
I want to be a kid again about it
G                  F#m
Give me back my sadness
  B9                Em
I couldn't hide it     even if I tried girl
C
We fight so frail
Bm                    Am
Making love tooth and nail
                           Dsus4/F#
You gave me the kiss of my life
                                    D/F#
I might even live to tell the tale
 
                 G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it
B9               Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it
A                  G            F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it
B9                Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G C                Cm
  Say you wouldn't Say you wouldn't
  G                G               GM7
  Say you wouldn't Say you wouldn't
