                   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

AND NOW YOU'VE COME ALONG
YES YOU'VE COME ALONG
AND I'VE NEVER KNOWN A GIRL LIKE YOU BEFORE
