I Want You  by Elvis Costello   (from Blood and Chocolate)
----------

Hi. This is for those who requested it. The tab section was created with 
my TAB MASTER program for TAB transcribing on PC. I'm not so sure how 
accurate it is, but it works anyway. I suppose that some of the E chords 
of the intro can be played as E7 - it works too. The intro, anyway, 
should sound good, I personally think its far from what is actually 
played on the album (not the chords, but the notes themselves). It's
very easy to to play the song, but I think that remembering all the 
lyrics is a bit tricky... Enjoy!
