style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px;">Alison : Elvis Costello [ Guitar tablature ]
Hello there
Hope this transcription is somewhere near the mark, as I've only
got crappy old vinyl to work from.
Thanks to Paul Hutchinson for the chords and the inspiration,
and yes this song is way too short.
Thanks
