Billy Bragg - The Milkman Of Human Kindness

album:Life's A Riot With Spy Vs.Spy

Just seen Billy play this at the Glastonbury Festival
He used a capo at the 7th fret.

The main riff used during the intro and verses is only two chords,G
and Eminor.

Play a G                  Then the Em
and immediately add          with this:
