Вступление
PENELOPE HALFPENNY
As recorded by Elvis Costello & The Imposters
(From the 2022 Album THE BOY NAMED IF)
[Verse 1]
C
Penelope Halfpenny sat on the desk
C
Then stretched and grinned
G
She cracked her spine
G
And so we sinned
Am F
While Ruth in red and Beckett in blue
Am F
Into the confessional flew
Dm G
And in that box, unlocked their dreams
Dm G
While lovers ran hands on nylon
Bb
Penelope, Penelope, Penelope Halfpenny
[Verse 2]
C
Penelope Halfpenny
C
Asked a great deal
C
Turned on her heel
G
Through her squandered ambitions while marking time
Am C F
Taught lessons to all adjacent to crime
Dm G
From her days reporting to Scotland Yard blotter
Dm G
Who got who and who got what
Dm G
But none of that mattered, not one jot
Bb C
To Penelope, Penelope, Penelope, Penelope Halfpenny
[Bridge]
Em Am D G F G
Ruth in red tumbled from her bed although, I know
Em Am D G F
Beckett in blue, hung there bleeding from the springs below
G
Penelope, Penelope
[Verse 3]
C
Penelope she came and went
C
We assumed that all her savings were spent
G
Her style of drama and her shape of face
Am F
Disappeared with the dot of a decimal place
Dm G
While Beckett in blue and Ruth in red
Dm G
Might for all I know be dead
Dm G
And to the church door both were driven
Dm G
Or could be somewhere, happily living
Dm G
Just in time to be forgiven
Bb C N.C.
Penelope, Penelope, Penelope, Penelope Halfpenny
[Outro]
