Elvis+Costello - Green+shirt

From: William Vaughan 
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 1995 10:17:18 -0400 (EDT)



Here's Elvis Costello's "Green Shirt" from the demo version off
the Ryko reissued of "This Years Model".  The original version is
on "Armed Forces" and has very little guitar.  For the demo
version, there is an extra verse (the last one).  Be sure to
concentrate on the bass strings of the chords and use the up and
down picking motion EC does (listen to the record for details)
