Girls Talk Written by Elvis Costello recorded and released by Dave Edmunds in 1979 where it reached number 4 in UK charts. Bass Performance Nick Lowe. Tab by bass50611. This how I played it on stage with my Band but be aware it is not an easy bass line. Play crochets in the Verse With a mixture of quavers and crochets in the choruses. At the end of Chorus 2 & 3 and the little quaver bass runs are very quick. Very close to original bass line so have fun.
