Tuning: E A D G B E
Tabbed from a live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7bjuGcRFU It's played on piano so these chords are an approximation for guitar. I've also simplified what could be complicated major / minor and minor seventh to their minor versions because I like easy. I think it plays best by plucking a single chord and letting it ring. Note that the lyric doesn't fit on easy chord boundaries so I've tried to place chord changes where I think they belong. Suggestions welcome. I've been a Bragg fan for 30+ years and I think this song is probably his most complete. Enjoy. [Intro] Em G D Em G D [Verse 1]
