Shallow Grave Lyrics & Tabs by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Shallow Grave
guitar chords lyrics
When I fall in endless sleep
I hope that I'll be buried deep
Let me be the one that fortune favours
Even good children got shallow graves
Throw another clown to the lions
Throw another Joan on the blaze
Cast me away on the cruel, calm ocean
And leave me for days and days and days and days and days
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave, I won't lie
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Bless the poor 'cause like the rich
They all end up in a ditch
In this world of fools and knaves
Bless the poor 'cause like the rich
They all end up in a ditch
In this world of fools and knaves
Even good children got shallow graves
The tinker, the tailor, the fabulous five
Nobody gets out of this alive
Throw another clown to the lions
Throw another Joan on the blaze
Cast me away on the cool, calm ocean
And leave me for days and days and days and days and days
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave, I won't lie
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
Dig me down, dig me down, dig me down deep
I won't lie in this poor shallow grave
