Subject: CRD: Levi Stubbs Tears (Billy Bragg)

I've seen a couple request for this so I thought I'd put my two
cents worth in. Maybe not completely accurate, but it will give
you a start. Most of the song is done using the bass strings and
muted, except where the Bm to A at the end of a measure is (listen
to the song to see what I mean). The two string riff before and
during the first part of the chorus will be denoted by two string
chords. They will be marked with a *. Feel free to correct as
need - especially the bridge.

Intro

Bm F#m G A


VERSE 1
Bm
With the money from her accident

A D D/C#
She bought herself a mobile home

A G
So at least she could get some enjoyment

Bm Bm A
out of living alone

G D
No one could say she was left upon the shelf

A
Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself

CHORUS

C * G * D * A * C * G * D * B *

C * G * D * A * Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

G A Bm F#m
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face

VERSE 2

Bm A D D/C#
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat
A G Bm Bm A
She was married before she was even entitled to vote

G D
And her husband was one of those blokes

A Bm
The sort who only laughs at his own jokes

G D
The sort that a war takes away

A
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

CHORUS (omit F#m )

BRIDGE

D A G A
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong

D A Bm
Are here to make right everything that's wrong

D A G A
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too

A (hold)
Are here to make it okay with you

VERSE 3

Bm A D D/C#
One dark night he came home from the sea

A G Bm Bm A
And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be

G D
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door

A
And though they stiched her back together they left her heart in
Bm Bm A
pieces on the floor


G A Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

G
She takes off the Four Tops tape
A Bm Bm A
and puts it back in its case

G A Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

G A Bm Bm A
Levis Stubbs tears
