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.
