From: Heggie David Subject: CRD:C'Mon Billy by PJ Harvey Date: Tue, 28 Nov 95 14:15:00 PST C'MON BILLY by Polly Jean Harvey Performed by PJ Harvey from "To Bring You My Love" LP Chords written out by David Heggie Firstly, the song itself is fairly easy to play chord-wise - there's no hard chords in it at all. There's a fair amount of muting of the strings, very like in her other song on the same album, "Send His Love To Me". No amount of describing would tell you how to play this - just listen to the record and play along - you'll get the hang of it. The chords used & how to play them are : Am C Dm Em e:---0-----0----1-----0----- Notice how she plays the Am chord B:---1-----1----3-----0----- it's played this way (hammering on G:---0h2---0----2-----0----- the E and A notes) throughout the D:---0h2---2----0-----2----- verses. Again, to make it A:---0-----3----0-----2----- clearer, listen to the record. E:---0----(3)---x-----0----- Here's how they fit into the Verse and Chorus : [VERSE]
Am C'mon BillyC, Am Come to meC Am You know I'm waitingC, I'll Dmlove Cyou DmendClessAmly. Am C'mon BillyC, Am you're the only oneC, Am Don't you think it's time Cnow you Dmmet Cyour Dmon-Cly Amson ? Am I rememberC Am our lovers' playC Am The corn was goldenC, we Dmlay Cin Dmit Cfor Amdays Am I rememberC Am the things you saidC Am My little BillyC, come Dmto Cyour Dmlo-Cver's Dmbed
[CHORUS]
Dm Come home,Am is my plea Em Your home now isAm here with me Dm Come homeAm to your son Em Tomorrow might never come
[VERSE] C'mon Billy, you look good to me How many nights now your child inside ohh - v.unsure about this! Don't forget me, I had your son Damn thing went crazy, but I swear you're the only one [INSTRUMENTAL] for rest of verse Then just repeat :
Am Come along BillyC, Am Come to MeC Until the end of the song. Easy-Peasy.  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, | David Heggie, SCOT, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh | | EMail: HeggieD@scot.hw.ac.uk OR texdh@bonaly.hw.ac.uk | '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
