Billy Bragg - To Have And To Have Not guitar tab

Subject: CRD - BILLY BRAGG - To Have and To Have Not

This one has a single repetitive riff that goes along it. Those of you who

know it will have no difficulty in framing it onto the lyrics, it's:

G C G Em D G all they way through. BIG FUN!

He plays open standard chords, but surfing up and down the neck to barre'

territory doesn't do any harm... try out and see.

The lyrics as far as i could get them (corrections please...):

To Have And To Have Not - Billy Bragg (from Life's a Riot w/ Spy vs Spy)

======================= = ==============================================

Up in the morning and out in school

Mother says there'll be no work next year

Qualification makes(?) the Golden Rule

Now just pieces of... paper

[Chorus1]

Just because you're better then me

Doesn't mean i'm lazy

Just because you're going forwards

Doesn't mean i'm going backwards

If you look the part(?) you'll get the job

In last year's trousers and your old school shoes

The truth is, son, it's a buyers market

They can afford to pick and choose...

[Chorus2]

Just because you're better then me

Doesn't mean i'm lazy

Just because i dress like this

Doesn't mean i'm a Communist!

The factories are closing and the army's full

I don't know what i'm going to do

But i've come to see, in the Land of the Free

There's only a future for the Chosen Few

[repeat Chorus1]

At 21 you're on top of the scrap hip

At 16 you were top of you're class

All they taught you at school was how to be a good worker

The system has failed, you've done(?) by(?) yourself

[repeat Chorus1]
