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

LIKE SOLDIERS DO by Billy Bragg - Tabbed by Tcoldsteel 2009
CAPO (probably) 2nd or 3rd Fret. Pick-up in bridge position (as usual). This tab may be better as an acoustic version anyway. This is the VERY BASIC chord structure. All chords relative to CAPO. Use a mixture of barred and open chords (The 'F' sounds better barred to me) and signature runs/licks between chords to get Billy's sound.
INTRO: C
VERSE:
CFC Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears CF Armed to the teeth for a war of words G Reaching all the years AmG I advanced across a poppy field CF I saw the gleam as you raised your shield F And love screamed down GC (G) With the sun behind its back
CHORUS:
CF Our Fathers were all soldiers, CG Shall we be soldiers too AmG (FG) C Fighting and falling like soldiers do
Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war I can't be bothered to find out What we are fighting for No one can win this war of the senses I see no reason to drop my defences So stand fast my emotions, Rally round my shaking heart
Our Fathers were all soldiers, Shall we be soldiers too Fighting and falling like soldiers do
Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears Armed to the teeth for a war of words Reaching all the years I advanced across a poppy field I saw the gleam as you raised your shield And love screamed down With the sun behind its back I knew once again I was under attack So stand fast my emotions, Rally round my shaking heart
Our Fathers were all soldiers, Shall we be soldiers too AmG (FG) Fighting and falling like soldiers AmG (FG) Fighting and falling like soldiers AmG (FG) C Fighting and falling like soldiers do
