Alibi chords by Elvis Costello
Guitar chords with lyrics
Alibi from the album "When I Was Cruel" 2002 Lyrics and Music by Elvis Costello Chords figured out by Michael Jorgensen from Elvis Costello's new album When I Was Cruel as compared with the live version from the live BBC Broadcast in November 1999. Note* The album version is much longer than the live versions available prior to the release of "When I Was Cruel." Extra verses and choruses have been added to the album version. The album version also seems to be moved up a half step from the many live versions I have heard prior to "When I Was Cruel." Also the E7 on the chorus may not be exactly correct, but it sounds great on my 12 string!
