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.

Chords

G 355433 Am 577555 G* xx0033

Em 022000 C* x32010 Em* xx2003

C 8(10)(10)988 D xx0232

Intro G Em

*verse 1*

G Em G Em

You and I are victims of a love

G Em G Em

That lost a lot in the translation

C Am C Am

When I think of all the time that I spent

G Em G Em

Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation

G* D D Em*

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

G Em G Em

Walking in the park kissing in the dark

G Em C Am

And my head against your pillow

C Am G Em G Em

Late at night a lover sings

D Em C* G Em G Em

Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

D Em C* G Em G Em

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

G Em G Em

Walking in the park kissing on the carpet

G Em

And your tights around your ankles

C Am C Am G Em G Em

Late at night a lover thinks of these things

D Em C* G Em G Em

Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

D Em C* G Em G Em

I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love

D Em C*

Adam and Eve are finding out all about

D Em C*

Adam and Eve are finding out all about

D Em C* G Em C

Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love

G Em C

G Em C

G Em C Am Em G
