HARRY RAG- The Kinks

Bm

Ah, Tom will show and Tom will smoke

A

Tom is as bold as a knight of old

Bm A

But whenever he gets into a bit of a jam

F# Bm

There's nothing he won't do to get a Harry Rag

CHORUS:

Bm A

Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag

Bm A

And he curses himself for the life he's led

F#

And rolls himself a Harry Rag

Bm Bm F# Bm F# Bm

And puts himself to bed

Ah, Tom's old ma is a dyin' lass

Soon they reckon she'll be pushin' up the grass

And her bones might take and her skin might sag

Still she's got the strength to have a Harry Rag

CHORUS:

Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag

And she curses herself for the life she's led

And rolls herself a Harry Rag

And puts herself to bed

Ah, bless you taxman, bless you all

You may take some but you'll never take it all

But if I give it all I won't feel sad

As long as I've got enough to buy a Harry Rag

CHORUS:

Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag

And I curse myself for the life IAnd roll meself a Harry Rag

And put myself to bed

Ah, the smart young ladies of the land

Can't relax without a Harry in their hand

And they light one up and they boast and brag

So content because they got a Harry Rag

CHORUS:

Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag

And they light one up and they boast and brag

So content because they got a Harry Rag

Harry Rag! Harry Rag! IAnd I curse myself for the life IAnd rolls meself

a Harry Rag

And puts meself to bed
