Pretty Words
Words & Music by: Elvis Costello
>From the album: TRUST

Note: This song was recorded in the key of F major,
but I transposed it to Gmajor. I am just more used
to the chords in G. For the original key of F version
please refer to the songbook.
Also, I am not the world's finest transposer, so let
me know what what mistakes you find! thanks, m.
