A Girl Like You

EDWYN COLLINS: A GIRL LIKE YOU

Here is a song by Edwyn Collins, and I thought that was a good enough

reason for me to send these things I wrote down (so that everybody

can enjoy a brilliant song). I hope that you enjoy.

About tabulatures: I am not good with solos, but I tried to

do my best. I don't know the right keys for the different things

in solos so I just made up the few keys I needed. I hope you find

them logical (=easy, in most cases).

Tabhelp: / =Slide up (ex: 5/6 =Slide up from 5th to 6th fret)

\ =Slide down (ex: 5\6 =Slide down from...)

^ =Bend up (ex: 5^« =Bend up a half note)

... =Hold until the next note appears on the line
