Chords for Elvis Costello: 'Sulphur to Sugarcane' -- video.NEWSWEEK.com

[Bb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _
It's not very [Eb] far from South of the sugar [Bb]
cane
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Everywhere I travel pretty girls call [Bb] my name
I _ _ _ _ give them a squeeze and shoot [Gm] me a wink
[Eb] I give the hot-headed husband a long cool drink
You [Bb] better come up [D] smelling sweet
Cause [G] you're a long time sneak
It's [C] a [Gm] little [Bb] too late to [F] [Gm] complain
[Abm] [F] It's [Eb]
not very far [F] from South of the sugar [Bb] cane
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now if you catch my eye
[Gb] It seems to [Bbm] run down [Bb] your leg
_ Like _ _ a [Eb] strike and a match
Pretty hard upon a powder [Bb] _
keg
_ _ _ _ They tell you from the borders
To the waters of the [Eb] Gulf
If you take all the sugar
You will end up in the [Bb] South
Burning, burning hollow baby
Pleased [Eb] to meet you
I wouldn't do you wrong honey
I wouldn't eat [D] you honey
When can I [G] see you _ again
_ [C]
Wrap you [F] up in [Gm] cellophane
[F] _ [Eb] It's not very [F] far from South of the sugar [Bb] cane
It's _ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
not very far from South of the sugar _ [Bb]
cane
_ _ _ _ When [D] your eyes fill up with wine
_ When you're drowning in wine
_ It's [Gm] like the last days of _ Rome
With their death spots and divine
_ And [Eb] there's no place like home [D] for a little [G] love from China
[Cm] It's a little [F] too late to [Dm] complain
_ [Eb] It's not very far [F] from South of the sugar [Bb] cane
_ You _ _ _ _ can go west to Texas
Go east to Mississippi
[Eb] You can run out of money
You can run out of pity
[Bb] Grow old man, you're person through you
Crying for mercy
[Eb]
Go to Alabama Escape Louisiana
[Bb] I'm thinking like I'm hiding off in South Carolina
But then if you continue
You [Eb] will end up in Virginia
[Bb] The women and the kids they take
They close up when they're tipsy
[Eb] But now I'm in New York
And love the filthy way I [D] talk and do
They got no where to [G] find us champagne
[Cm] They [F] can't get the grape and the [Gm] grain
[Dm] _ [Eb] It's not very [F] far from South of the sugar [Bb] cane
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] Ooh
_ _ _ [Eb] It's not [Bb] very [F] far from South of the sugar [Bb]
cane
[F] Up [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
in Syracuse, I was falsely accused
[Eb]
But I'm not here to hurt you
I'm here to steal your [Bb] virtue
Up in Bridgeport, the women will kill you for sport
[Eb] But in Worcester, Massachusetts
They love my [Bb] sauce
The women in the gypsy take the clothes top when they [Eb] tipsy but here in it's a land TV
Don't wear any [D] panties
The _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Cm]
each [Dm] of the skirts in its way
_ [Eb]
It's not very [F] far sugar _
[Eb] It's not very [F] far sugar _ _ [Eb] _ Sugar
[F] _ _ Sugar
[Eb] It's not very far
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
