C'MON BILLY

by Polly Jean Harvey

Performed by PJ Harvey

from "To Bring You My Love" LP

Chords written out by David Heggie

Firstly, the song itself is fairly easy to play chord-wise -

there's no hard chords in it at all. There's a fair amount of

muting of the strings, very like in her other song on the same

album, "Send His Love To Me". No amount of describing would tell

you how to play this - just listen to the record and play along -

you'll get the hang of it.

The chords used & how to play them are :

Am C Dm Em e:---0-----0----1-----0----- Notice how she plays the Am chord

B:---1-----1----3-----0----- it's played this way (hammering on

G:---0h2---0----2-----0----- the E and A notes) throughout the

D:---0h2---2----0-----2----- verses. Again, to make it

A:---0-----3----0-----2----- clearer, listen to the record.

E:---0----(3)---x-----0-----

Here's how they fit into the Verse and Chorus :

[VERSE]

Am C Am C

C'mon Billy, Come to me

Am C Dm C Dm C Am

You know I'm waiting, I'll love you endlessly.

Am C Am C

C'mon Billy, you're the only one,

Am C Dm C Dm C Am

Don't you think it's time now you met your on-ly son ?

Am C Am C

I remember our lovers' play

Am C Dm C Dm C Am

The corn was golden, we lay in it for days

Am C Am C

I remember the things you said

Am C Dm C Dm C Dm

My little Billy, come to your lo-ver's bed

[CHORUS]

Dm Am

Come home, is my plea

Em Am

Your home now is here with me

Dm Am

Come home to your son

Em

Tomorrow might never come

[VERSE]

C'mon Billy, you look good to me

How many nights now your child inside ohh - v.unsure about this!

Don't forget me, I had your son

Damn thing went crazy, but I swear you're the only one

[INSTRUMENTAL] for rest of verse

Then just repeat :

Am C Am C

Come along Billy, Come to Me

Until the end of the song.

Easy-Peasy.
