(ver. 1)
Bragg Billy
yeah, so this is the first Billy Bragg Song i figured out on my own. its also the first
tab ive posted. hope you enjoy playing this song as much as i do.

if you wanna be in key with the cd, put a capo on the 4th or 5th fret. i usually just
play it open though. 

Take Down The Union Jack by Billy Bragg

G
take down the union jack
C                      G
it clashes with the sunset 
D                    Am
and put it in the attic
        C              G
with the emperor's old clothes

(same chords)
when did it fall apart
sometime in the eighties
when the good and the great
gave way to the greedy and the mean

C        
Britain isnt cool you know
D                   G   
its really not that great
C
its not a proper country
D                              G
it doesnt even have a patron's say
         C                         D          G     D    
its just an economical union thats past its sell by date

Bridge:
C                                G
gilbert and george are taking a p**s on it
C                               G
gilbert and george ar taking a p**s
C                                       D              G
