Levi Stubbs Tears

Biography:

Billy Bragg (Stephen William Bragg, Barking, Essex, England, 20 December, 1957) is an English singer, songwriter and left-wing activist. His music blends elements of folk music, punk rock and protest songs, and his lyrics mostly deal with political or romantic themes.

In 1977, Bragg formed the punk rock/pub rock band Riff Raff, and toured London's pubs and clubs. The band released a series of singles, which did not receive wide exposure. He also worked in Guy Norris Records in Barking.

[Intro]
Bm F#m G A

[Verse 1]
Bm
With the money from her accident
A D D/C#
She bought herself a mobile home
A G
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Bm Bm A
out of living alone
G D
No one could say she was left upon the shelf
A
Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself

[Chorus 1]
C* G* D* A* C* G* D* B*
C* G* D* A* Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G A Bm F#m
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face

[Verse 2]
Bm A D D/C#
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat
A G Bm Bm A
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
G D
And her husband was one of those blokes
A Bm
The sort who only laughs at his own jokes
G D
The sort that a war takes away
A
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

[Chorus 1]
C* G* D* A* C* G* D* B*
C* G* D* A* Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G A Bm F#m
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face

[Bridge]
D A G A
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
D A Bm
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
D A G A
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
A (hold)
Are here to make it okay with you

[Verse 3]
Bm A D D/C#
One dark night he came home from the sea
A G Bm Bm A
And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be
G D
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
A
And though they stiched her back together they left her heart in
Bm Bm A
pieces on the floor

[Chorus 2]
G A Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G
She takes off the Four Tops tape
A Bm Bm A
and puts it back in its case
G A Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G A Bm Bm A
Levis Stubbs tears

[Outro]
G A Bm A
