Chords for Billy Bragg on Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Welcome back my naughty little monkeys.
My next guest, in my opinion, is the best thing to come out of England since the road to Scotland.
He has a _ _ _ national treasure in England.
Volume 2 of his career box set is out October the 17th.
And he's got a new book out called Billy Bragg, the Progressive Patriot.
It's Billy Bragg everybody.
_ _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] It might [Em] have been Camelot [D] for Jack and [C] Jacqueline
[F] But on the Hugo [Am] Chavez highway [D] filling up with [C] gasoline
[F] Little [C] Donald Rumsfeld [D] spies a rich lady [C] who's crying
[F] Over luxury's [C] disappointment
So he [Dm] goes over and he's [C] trying [A] to [C] sympathise with her
[F] But he thinks that he should warn her [Bb] to prepare to [C] be bombed back [F] into the Stone [Em] Age
_ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[F] In the former [C] Soviet Union [Dm] the citizens [C]
demand
[F] To know why they're [C] still the target [Dm] of strategic [C] air commands
[Bb] And they shake their [C] fists in anger and respectfully [Dm]
suggest
We [Bb] take the money from our [C] missiles and spend it [F] on our hospitals [Em] instead
[Dm] Yeah, _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ the Cold War [C] now is over [Dm] but the stakes [C] are getting higher
[F] I'm frightened [C] of collateral [Dm] damage and of [C] friendly fire
[Bb] And I don't [C] believe we can [F] defeat no axis of evil
[Bb] By putting smart [C] bombs in the hands [F] of dumb people
[C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] Mixing [C] pop and politics, [Dm] they ask me [C] what the use is
[F] I offer [Em] them my [Dm] acupuncturist and [C] my masseuses
[Bb] While looking down the [C] corridor
Out to where my ego is [Bb] waiting
I'm looking [C] for the new [F] world [C] order
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] Jumble [Em] sales are organised, [Dm] all my mates [C] got fat
[F] Even after all [C] this time you know [Dm] you can still send [C] me a fax
You can [Bb] be active [C] with the activists
You can be [F] still sleeping with the media
While [Bb] you're waiting [C] for the great [Am] leap forwards
[Bb] One leap [C] forwards, two leaps back
[F] Will YouTube give MTV the [Bb] sack?
Waiting [C] for the great [Am] leap forwards
_ [Bb] Well here comes the future [C] and you can't run from it
[F] If you've got a website I want to be on it
[Bb] Waiting for [C] the great leap [Am] forwards
In [Bb] a perfect world we'd [C] all sing in tune
But this is reality not American Idol
[Bb] Waiting for the [C] great leap [Em] forwards
Yeah, [C] so [Bb] join the struggle while [C] you may
[F] The revolution's [C] just an ethical [D] haircut away
When [Bb] you're waiting [C] for the great leap [F] _
_ forwards
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ Thanks Brian, it was a pleasure Bye, bye
Bye bye everybody, [C] goodnight
