[ Different Finger von Elvis Costello ]


 



A7              D                                  A7

Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger if you meet me tonight

                 A7

'Cause I can't stand those suspicious glances

                                            D

'Cause I know the things they're saying are right





        D7     G

They're saying why don't you straighten up

                 G

And see what you've got to lose

C                                                            G

Put it all down to fate but you still got the chance to choose





G                         F          C

I don't want to hear your whole life story

    A                                       D       D7

Or about my strange resemblance to some old flame

G                 F        C

All I want is one night of glory

D                                  G 

I don't even know your second name





Instrumental:  A7   D   A     D D7 G  D   A7    D





B7              E

Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger 

             B7

'Cause we've got so much at stake

            B7

I can't stand those suspicious glances

                                       E

'Cause they seem to cover ev'ry move I make





E7       A                        E

But if I can be alone with you completely tonight

               B    

Put your rings on a diff'rent finger

                      A  E  F#m7 (XX2222) E

Before I turn out the light
