I Want You Elvis Costello
From: Ofir Zwebner <br/> Subject: Elvis Costello - I Want You<br/> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 1994 15:36:58 +0300 (IDT)<br/> <br/> I Want You by Elvis Costello (from Blood and Chocolate)<br/> ----------<br/> <br/> Hi. This is for those who requested it. The tab section was created with <br/> my TAB MASTER program for TAB transcribing on PC. I'm not so sure how <br/> accurate it is, but it works anyway. I suppose that some of the E chords <br/> of the intro can be played as E7 - it works too. The intro, anyway, <br/> should sound good, I personally think its far from what is actually <br/> played on the album (not the chords, but the notes themselves). It's<br/> very easy to to play the song, but I think that remembering all the <br/> lyrics is a bit tricky...
