SOMETHING GONE WRONG - chords, tab and comments


Kevin Coyne (1944-2004) was a real multiple and genuine artist. He was a painter, poet, novelist and film-maker, but commonly best known as a singer/songwriter in his very own minimalistic way. Fleeing from marriage failure, working pressure, a nervous breakdown and alcoholism to Germany in the early eightees, his work really came to blossom. He has released more than 40 albums; this one is from "Beautiful Extremes" (1977).
