Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key

by Billy Bragg

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]
G C C G

[Verse 1]
G C
I lived in a place called Okfu skee
C G
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
G C
I said, little girl, it's plain to see
C G
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Hold the Em and he does this little hammer on after each verse and chorus:

e|---------------------------------------------|
B|--------------0------------------------------|
G|-----0--------0------------------------------|
D|-----2----0h2--------------------------------|
A|-----2----2----------------------------------|
E|--0------------------------------------------|

[Verse 2]
G C
She said it's hard for me to see
C G
How one little boy got so ugly
G C
Yes my little girly that might be
C G
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Chorus]
C G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Am G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Am Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Verse 3]
G C
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
C G
To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee
G C
To hear the west wind whistle to the east
C G
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am7 Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

G C
Oh my little girly will you let me see
C G
Way over yonder where the wind blows free
G C
Nobody can see in our holler tree
C G
And there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Chorus]
C G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Am G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Interlude]
C G Am G Am Em
(Played like the chorus)

[Verse 4]
G C
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
C G
And laid it on the she and me
G C
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees
C G
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

G C
Now I have walked a long long ways
C G
And I still look back to my Tanglewood days
G C
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
C G
Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Chorus]
C G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Am G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Am G
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
Am Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
