The Boy Named If chords by Elvis Costello
Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro: C7 Verse: C7 I'm a lucky so and so A fortunate stiff C7 You said you'd never knew me but I'm the one you want to be with If I tumble from a tightrope or leap from a cliff C7 I won't be dashed to pieces
I'm the boy named If Pre-Chorus: C7 If I disappear and I slipper from your view I just step upon a crack and I won't come back D G Imagine me D G C7 And I'll imagine you too Verse: C7 In a hollow of the bed sheet Or a picture in a frame C7 I'm vivid as a summer's day Then never seen again C7 Who'll pay the taxman? Who'll place the blame? C7 Who'll point into an empty room And whisper my name? Refrain: C7 If I disappear and I slipper from your view You will step upon a crack and I won't come back D G Imagine me D G C7 And I'll imagine you too Bridge: Dm G Take my hand C F Em We'll go to "Magic Lantern Land" Dm G Take my hand Am Dm See the pictures they've projected Dm G Take my hand C F Em We'll fill our pockets up with sand Dm G Dance in frantic passes Am Dm C7 Till the grains all turn to glasses Drums begin to navigate, the band strikes up a riff C7 No one will believe you but the boy named If Verse: C7 Who'll pay your entrance fee? Who'll leave a tip? C7 Who'll say, "Listen here Sunshine Don't you give me no lip" C7 Who broke your favourite heart? Who stops and never starts? C7 Who kiss you stupid? It must be something you did C7 Who'll keep you satisfied after a lover's tiff? It must be some other guy not the boy named If Refrain: C7 If I disappear and I slipper from your view You will step upon a crack and I won't come back D G Imagine me D G C7 And I'll imagine you too Outro: Dm G Take my hand C F Em We'll go to "Magic Lantern Land" Dm G Take my hand Am Dm See the pictures they've projected Dm G Take my hand C F Em We'll fill our pockets up with sand Dm G Dance in frantic passes Am Dm C7 Till the grains all turn to glasses
