Poisoned Rose chords by Elvis Costello

Poisoned Rose - transcribed by Gehan Cheung
Thanks Spencerob@aol.com for your version of this beautiful
song. I brought it all down a half-step in order to play along
with the CD, changed two chords, tabbed all the chords, and
detailed the timing a bit. Enjoy, Gehan
