Elvis Costello - Eisenhower blues (King Of America)
Elvis Costello - Eisenhower blues (King Of America)
Hey everybody I'm a talking to you
I ain't telling you jealous
It's just the natural truth
Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
My money's gone, the fun is gone
The way things look I can't be here long
Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
Taking all my money to pay the tax
I'm telling you people the natural facts
I'm telling you people, in my belief
I am headed straight on relief
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
I ain't got a dime, ain't got a cent
Ain't got no money to pay my rent
She wants some clothes, she wants some shoes
I'm telling you people I don't know what to do
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Talking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
Taking all my money to pay the tax
I'm telling you people the natural facts
I'm telling you people, in my belief
I am headed straight on relief
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Talking about me and you and what the hell are we gonna do?

Tremendous version,great interpretation. I like how you sneak in the G7 in place of the F chord in the one spot...tricky. The D7/D7sus really came off well. You're really talented. I was glued to the video & now have it down. You stayed in your range really well although I would have loved to hear you snap on the end ad lib vocs. Nonetheless, I've seen a phenomenal vers. It can be tough to get psyched up to play any cover jamming in your room. I truly thank you for the joy u provided me!

Yes, a very tough chord progression. Great job with the bridge. And hitting all the lyrics perfectly. Not an easy task on any EC song, but particularly tough on this one.
All in all, great job. EC would be proud.

Good cover. But isn't a video of Elvis himself singing the song?. I guess the record label didn't allow a video to be posted on youtube
