Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg - Help Save The Youth Of America guitar tab

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is a fun song to play and works well on both an electric and an acoustic.

for electric playing, play power chords (i.e., chords without the third) all

the way through, occasionally slipping in the third (of the chord) for

embellishment... use a lot of reverb (at least) and as much distortion as you

can bear.

for acoustic playing, i just strum the chords -- in open position --

agressively with a medium pick.

"help save the youth of america"

--------------------------------

G(5) C(5) G(5)

Help save the youth of America

D(5)

Help save them from themselves

G(5) C(5) G(5)

Help save the sunshine surfer boy

D(5) G(5)

and the California girls (repeat for all the other verses)

i can't remember all the words, but some go like this:

A nation with their freezers full

is dancing in their seats

while outside another nation

is sleeping in the streets

last verse:

G C G

The cities of Europe have burned before

D

and they may burn again

G C G

and this time if they do you bet

D G

that washington will burn with them

D G

omaha will burn with them

D G GGCCGCG

los alamos will burn with them
