DEPORTEE  Elvis Costello



[C]In the Arrivderci [G]Roma nightclub [Am]bar and grill
[F]Standing in the fiberglass [C]ruins
Watching [G]time [F]stand [Bb]still
[C]All your troubles [G]you confess
To [G/B]another faceless [C]backless dress
[C]Schnaps, cianti, [G/B]porter and ouzo
[Am]Perond [Am/G]vodka, [Am/F#]sambuca I [D7]love you [F]so
Deport[C]ee
[G]There's a tatty beauty [G]talkin in riddles
[Am]Rome burns [Am/G]down and [Am/F#]every..[D7]body [F]fiddles
Deport[C]ee
But a [F]thousand dollars won't [C]buy you a Yankee [Dm]wife unless
There's a [F]thousand years of [C]history drowned [G]in this [F]chaser [Bb]glass
And [C]now I wish that [G]she was mine
I [Am]could have [Am/G]been a [Am/F#]king in[D7] 6/8 [F]time
Deport[C]ee
Its a [Am]brittle charm but she's [D]had [Am]enough
Still she wrote her name [D]upon his paper [G]cuff
And you [C]don't know where to start or where to [G]stop
All this [C]pillow talk is nothing [F7]more than
D7 G G/F G/E G/D (on D string)
Finally talking shop
[G]When I [C]came here tonight my [G]pockets were over[Am]flowing
They [F]took my return [C]ticket without me [G]ev[F]en k[Bb]nowing
So I [C]pray to the saints and [G]all the maytrs
For the [G/B]secret life of [C]Frank Sinarta
[C]But none of these things ever come to [F]pass
In [Am]America [Am/G]the law [Am/F#]is a p[D7]iece of [F]ass
Deport[C]ee  So its
[C]Schnaps, cianti, [G/B]porter and ouzo
[Am]Perond [Am/G]vodka, [Am/F#]sambuca I [D7]love you [F]so
Deport[C]ee   [F]Poor Deport[C]ee [F]  Deport[C]ee
