Shot With His Own Gun
Words & Music by: Elvis Costello
From the album: TRUST
Comment: I am not sure how well this song
Works with solo guitar/singer combo. The
Version on the album w vocal and piano is
Great, though. If anybody figures out a
Better arrangement for guitar please
Let me know. I am more of a strummer than a picker, but I think a good
Guitarist could turn this into a great arrangement. thanks, m.
