Billy Bragg foi descrita pelo jornal The Times como um 'tesouro nacional'. In the two and a half decades of his career Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the country’s political, cultural and social history. Nas duas décadas e meia de sua carreira Bragg tem certamente fez uma marca indelével sobre a consciência da música britânica

Here's Billy Bragg's "St. Swithins Day" off of Back to Basics. Timing is everything here, so listen to the record too. With the main picking pattern, during the verses and the first two times in the intro, the high E string isn't picked - everywhere else the progression shows up, it is. A case could be made that the C/G is really Gsus4, but the latter sounds better to me. On the last line of the verse (F, C, G) stress the bass strings. Capo on 2nd fret.

Intro C/F C/E C C/G G (2 times w/o high E, next two with) C/GGC/GGC/GG
C/FC/ECC/GG Thinking back now
C/FC/ECC/GG I suppose you were just stating your views
C/FC/ECC/GG What was it all for
C/FC/ECC/GG For the weather or the battle of Agincourt
FG* And the times that we all hoped would last
Am (pick through) Like a train they have gone by so fast
FCG And though we stood together at the edge of the platform
We were not moved by them
*Intro pattern again 2 xs with high E)*
*same* With my own hands When I make love to your memory It's not the same I miss the thunder I miss the rain And the fact that you don't understand Cast a shadow over this land But the sun still shines from behind it
*same* Thanks all the same But I just can't bring myself to answer your letters It's not your fault But your honesty touches me like a fire The polaroids that hold us together Will surely fade away Like the love that we spoke of forever On St. Swithins Day
*Intro with high E and fade into cool keyboard thing*
