[ Element Within Her von Elvis Costello ]


 

F           Am         E
La la la la la la la la la la la


         E
It's the element within her
          C#m       B
Something under her skin
        E                       A               B
That is shining out through the face of the girl
A             B                    A
Two sapphires and couple of rows of pearls
D           G
It's just a part of it
Em             A
Like your fine tresses
F                Bb
You know what my guess is
C          Em           B
La la la la la la la la la la la


         E
It's the element within her
          C#m       B
Something under her skin
        E                       A               B
That is shining out through the face of the girl
A             B                    A
Two sapphires and couple of rows of pearls
D        G
He was a PLAYBOY
Em                          A
Could charm the birds right out of the trees
F                 Bb
Now he says 'What do I do with these?'
C           Em          B
La la la la la la la la la la la


F            C
This love in my heart
G               C
Let no-one set asunder
G         C
Sometimes I wonder
F           C           Dm7         C      F
La la la la la la la la la la la . . . .


G               C
But back in the bedroom
Am        D
With her electric heater
Bb             Eb
I say 'are you cold?'
                  F
She says 'no, but you are LA'
     Am        E
La la la la la la la la la la la
         E
It's the element within her
F           C           Dm7    C   F
La la la la la la la la la la la
G           Bm          F#
La la la la la la la la la la la
         E
It's the element within her  (and so on . . .)
