A Lover Sings

Here’s Billy Braggs "A Lover Sings" off of Back to Basics. It’s done in Billy’s typical muting/loud rhythm style that you have to listen to to do correctly.  Concentrate on the bass be a little suspect.         Chords    355433          577555   *  xx0033 C   8(10)(10)988  D   xx0232    [Intro]    [Verse 1] You and I are victims of a love That lost a lot in the translation When I think of all the time that I spent Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation       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     Walking in the park    kissing in the dark    And my head against your pillow     Late at night a lover sings          Adam and Eve are finding out all about love       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   Walking in the park    kissing on the carpet    And your tights around your ankles       Late at night a lover thinks of these things     Adam and Eve are finding out all about love         I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love        Adam and Eve are finding out all about Adam and Eve are finding out all about Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love
