PJ Harvey is an abbreviation of singer-songwriter Polly Jean Harvey (b. 9 Oct 1969 in Yeovil and raised in nearby Corscombe, Dorset, England) and a name of two acts. First was a Harvey-led trio, formed in 1991 with Rob Ellis (drums) and Steve Vaughan (bass), which débuted with Dry (Mar 1992). Overlapping with the trio, Harvey reused the name for solo work, inaugurated by 4-Track Demos (Oct 1993). The trio broke up in 1995 and Harvey continued solo

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]
AmCAmC C'mon Billy, Come to me AmCDmCDmCAm You know I'm waiting, I'll love you endlessly. AmCAmC C'mon Billy, you're the only one, AmCDmCDmCAm Don't you think it's time now you met your on-ly son ? AmCAmC I remember our lovers' play AmCDmCDmCAm The corn was golden, we lay in it for days AmCAmC I remember the things you said AmCDmCDmCDm My little Billy, come to your lo-ver's bed
[CHORUS] DmAm Come home, is my plea EmAm Your home now is here with me DmAm Come home 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 :
AmCAmC Come along Billy, Come to Me
Until the end of the song. Easy-Peasy. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, | David Heggie, SCOT, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh | | EMail: [email protected] OR [email protected] | '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
