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

The Short Answer - Billy Bragg --------------------------------
Not entirely happy about these chords but it's ok. Typical Bragg snappy drops on the bass strings with the occassional chank on the trebles.
It's capo'd at 2 or 3 - I'll just note the chords as though they were open.
C 332010 C2 x20010 Am x02210 G 320003 G2 355433 G3 055433 A 577655 Em 022000 F 003211 Dm xx0231
P1 (Main Pattern) CC2AmG - CGC
P1 Between Marx and marzipan in the dictionary there was Mary P1 Between the deep blue sea and the devil that was me G2AG2G3 If ever anyone could help me with my obsession with G2G3A P1 The young Susannah York it was Mary
In my pink pyjamas she asked me for something I gave her the short answer She read our stars out load And I knew then that we should have gone sailing But we stayed home instead Fighting on the waterbed Like the honeymoon couple on drugs Me and Mary
What happened in the past Remained a mystery of natural history She should have been the last But she was just the latest If she wanted to be a farmer's wife I would endure that muddy life I would dig for victory
(faster) Am And the sound of happy couples Em Coupling happily in the dark FC While you and I sat down to tea I remember you said to me Am That no amount of poetry Would mend this broken heart G2 But you can put the Hoover round Dm (don't know riff here) If you want to make a start
(verse pattern) All my friends from school Introduce me to their spouses While I'm left standing here With my hands down the front of my trousers I just don't know what's to be done I wonder sometimes how did Dad meet Mum And how did they conceive of me Tell me Mary
The boys who came to the shop Always made her laugh much more than I did When I told her this must stop She didn't bat an eyelid She said you know honey it's such a shame You'll never be any good at this game You bruise too easily So said Mary
Her two brothers took me out Of circulation for the duration So we went our separate ways but does she still love me She still has my door key Like a bully boy in a Benetton shop You're never happy with what you've got Till what you've got has gone Sorry Mary
Finish FGC
