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:
Main riff -------------------------------------
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:
Main Riff-------------------------------------
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:
Main Riff--------------------
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
B7 ----------------------------------
He thinks of claws scratching his back
----------------------------------------
he's going out there he's not coming back
Verse 3
Main Riff------------------
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
Main Riff---------------------------
She pads, paws, pads, paws and claws
Repeat to Fade
(----- etc means �Keep playing the riff� or �Keep hitting the chord�. The chords in the
