This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

If you don't have an organ, try using the simulated organ chords on one

guitar while another guitar plays the regular guitar parts.

This one knows, she comes and goes. And when she goes, she goes.

E (A) E (A) E (A) E (A)

E (A) E (A) E (A) E (A)

Sproston green she used to pace me, but now she hasn't got the time.

E (A) E (A) E (A) E (A)

I know I'm too necessary. Everything she stole was mine . . .

E G A

You got outta this one. I've got no one.

E

She knows she's buying something bought.
