Hello,
Here are a few more chord charts (not really TAB after all)
for some Elvis Costello songs.
Don't forget to use a single spaced font for this!
Please let me know if there are any errors, corrections, and so on.
Thanks,

Lyrics from:
Kid About It
By Elvis Costello
>From the album: Imperial Bedroom
NOTE: this song is in 3/4 time
G F#m B
He saw no tears in her eyes
Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G F#m
She's telling all of those lies
B Em
She swore she'd never told before
But I doubt it
C
So he bit his tongue
Bm Am
And tried hard to capture his breath
C
When she said I waited all my life
For just a little death
D G F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it
B Em
Say you wouldn't kid about it
A G F#m
Say you wouldn't kid about it
B Em Eb7 (XX1323)
Say you wouldn't kid about it
C Em
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
C Em
She makes her movements mysteriously
F Dm Eb7
Slow fast or furiously
C
It's a big responsibility
Em
With a face full of mixed ability
C
Big dreams of elegance
Em F C
Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool"
D D9 (XX1232)
And turning into Americans
D G
Say you wouldn't kid about it
G F#m B
So what if this is a man's world
Em
I want to be a kid again about it
G F#m
Give me back my sadness
B Em
I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl
C
We fight so frail
Bm Am
Making love tooth and nail
C/D
You gave me the kiss of my life
D
I might even live to tell the tale
(chorus)
