Here's Billy Braggs "A Lover Sings" off of Back to Basics. Its done in Billy's typical muting/loud rhythm style that you have to listen to to do correctly. Concentrate on the bass strings in the G Em and C Am patterns. The ending chords might be a little suspect.

Intro GEm
*verse 1*
GEmGEm You and I are victims of a love
GEmGEm That lost a lot in the translation
CAmCAm When I think of all the time that I spent
GEmGEm Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation
G* DDEm* Of you giving and us living in sin
*verse 2 - same* A hot day, the smell of hairspray And the sound of a shower running softly It's things like this that remind me how I felt The first time you came back for coffee The way you took it, amazed me
GEmGEm Walking in the park kissing in the dark
GEmCAm And my head against your pillow
CAmGEmGEm Late at night a lover sings
DEmC* GEmGEm Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
DEmC* GEmGEm I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
*verse 3 - same as other two* There is no real substitute For a ball struck squarely and firmly And you're the kind of girl who wants to Open up the bottle of pop Too early in the journey Our love went flat just like that
*verse 4 - again same* It doesn't matter the colour of the car But what goes on beneath the bonnet Is there a flag that flies above your heart And is my name writ there upon it Wedding cake and toothache Equals love and pain
GEmGEm Walking in the park kissing on the carpet
GEm And your tights around your ankles
CAmCAmGEmGEm Late at night a lover thinks of these things
DEmC* GEmGEm Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
DEmC* GEmGEm I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
DEmC* Adam and Eve are finding out all about
DEmC* Adam and Eve are finding out all about
DEmC* GEmC Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love
