• C7

Pads, Paws & Claws - Elvis Costello

Main Riff:

Bottom E -1-1-3-1-1-3-1-1-3-1-1-3-1-1-3-1-1-3-1-1-3-1-1-3

Verse One:
She's a feline tormentor, not any vaudeville wife
But with a drunk-town lament
He leads her a miserable life
C7         G         E7        C
But when he's full of that beer-champagne
No Chord
She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws

Verse Two:
And if he should wake up in some terrible dive
And he don't know if he's so-so
But he's so surprised he's alive
C7         G         E7        C
"Come on little honey, let me under your hive"
No Chord
She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws

Bridge:
B7
She pads, pads around the bedroom,
A7         C       E7
Practicing ways to flirt
    A7                C             B7
He paws, pours another drink and anything in a skirt
   C7
Anything wearing a necklace
He thinks of claws scratching his back
he's going out there he's not coming back

Verse 3
She's got spider-leg fingers,
Sharpened whenever he strays
And she carries a bird-purse,
With all of her womanly ways
While he's drinking hairspray,
She knows that he never would dare
She could be in pictures if she wasn't all covered in fur
C7         G         E7        C
He's coming home now and here's the surprise
C7         G         E7        C
You wouldn't believe the lies that he tries
C7         G         E7        C
She cut him down to her favourite size
No Chord
She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws
She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws
