Chords for Elvis Costello - Little Palaces - The Session - LIVE - 1987

_ _ _ _ _
This concerns a town where _ [B] my family ended up _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and [G] things that have happened to it ever since.
_ _ There's a company there that makes chocolate, you probably know it,
Cadbury's.
They've got a fixation about painting everything the same colour as their wrappers,
you know, even the trains. _ _ _
_ It used to be these chocolate trains that went by
_ in sort of brown and silver, you know, so if anybody stole them they'd know who they were. _ _ _ _
_ Last year we made an album sleeve that looked exactly like one of their,
one of their chocolate wrappers and they sued us
_ [Ab] because it's obvious that our cassettes look, you know, taste a lot better than their chocolate.

[G] Chocolate Town, [C] all the trains are [G] painted brown [C] in the [D] silver paint of [G] the wrapper.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ And [C] he wears a white [G] mustache, and [C] he drifts with [G] nicotine fingers as [C] he drops his [G] cigarette ash. _ _
[D] And someone comes and sweeps it up, [Bm] and then he dops his cap.
[G] They're directing someone's bedroom, and [Em] they're setting someone's trap,
and they'll soon be [A] pulling down the [D] little parishes. _ _ _

_ And [D] they're moving from the family, [Bm] from the south to the north.
[G] _ Mother's crying over some [Em] type of murder clause.
And [C] you say you didn't do it,
but [F] you know you didn't [G] cause.
And [Em] they'll soon be pulling [A] down [D] the little parishes. _
_ _ [E] I shout to the Lord, I shout to the Lord, I shout to the Lord,
and [G]
I'm at lots of [C] buildings last night [G] at home.
Like [C] a picture of [G] Prince William,
in [C] the arms of Charles [G] of Holmes.
[Em] There's a world of good [G] intentions,
[C] and pity in [G] their eyes.
[C] So they sent home [G] to England, [C] and they still [G] _ _ _ vandalize.
So [D] you knock the kids about a bit, [Bm] because they've got your name.
And you [G] knock the kids about a bit, [Em] until they feel the same.
And they feel like pulling [A] down the little [D] _ palaces. _ _ _

[G] _ daddy's [C] a name, his friends [G] scribble. _ _
You made [C] the girls all [Em] turn their heads,
and [C] in turn, they [G] made you miserable. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Patterns [C] of the kingdom of [G] the invisible. _ _
Well, [D] you knock the kids about a bit, [Bm] because they've got your name.
And [G] you knock the kids about a bit, [Em] until they feel the same.
And they feel like pulling [A] down the little [D] palaces. _
