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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
to begin with there's a lil intro riff that goes like this:
e|--5-3---5-3---5-3---5-3-|
B|------------------------|
G|------------------------|
D|------3-----2-----5-----|
A|3-----------------------|
E|------------------------| x2 (this also plays during the outro bit where i've written the chords
as C C/F C/E C/G)
the first half of every verse is basically just a C chord with a lil riff over it.
that riff is:
B|------5/10----8----6-5-6|
[verse]
C
There's a place
A place that I go
Am G
Where I curl in a ball on the floor
C
And no one can know
C
And the fear
Wells up inside
Am
I'm just falling again
G
Feel I'm falling again
[chorus]
F C Dm C
And y-o-u make me brave
F C
Then you make me brave
[verse]
C
When the dark
And all of the doubt
Am
Crowds in around me
G C
And blocks the world out
C
And then I
I see you smile
Am
And I'm flying again
G
Yes, I'm flying again
[chorus]
F C Dm C
'Cause y-o-u make me brave
F C
Yes, you make me brave
[interlude]
C Am C Am
F C
[verse]
C
What's to come?
No one can know

But I fear for the future

What it may hold

Take my hand
Take it today

Let's not live in the past
G
Let's not hide in the past
