Billy Bragg – I Guess I Planted (Guitar)

E               F#m
I guess I planted some long lonesome seed of a song

C#m    Bm               A
Way down inside me long ago

E                        F#m
And now I can't remember when it was

C#m                       Bm               A
But it joined up with the rest of them and grows

E                          A
It's such a little song it don't compare

E                              A
With all your big ones you hear everywhere

E                            C#m        B G#m
But when it dawns way in the back of your mind

   C#m          Bm              A
The big ones are made up of the little kind

E   A   E          A
Union Song. Union Battled.

E     C#m F#m                B     E
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

E   A   E          A
Union Song. Union Battled.

E     C#m F#m                B     E
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

E                     F#m
I can't even start to look around here

C#m    Bm        A
Without hearing this song

E                        F#m
And seeing all of us first separated,

C#m    Bm       A
Hurt, apart and afraid

E                    A
And hungry for the union

E                   A
And so we kept on

E                    C#m        B       G#m
Singing and working, fighting till we got it.

C#m               Bm         A
And this is the big union song I guess I hear.

E   A   E          A
Union Song. Union Battled.

E   C#m        F#m           E
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

E   A   E          A
Union Song. Union Battled.

E   C#m        F#m           E
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

E               F#m     A
We fought there at your place

C#m    Bm               A
We fought there on your ship

E                        F#m
And I guess if you missed out on

C#m             Bm or G#m
The fight for our union,

     C#m          B#m           A            E          A
You missed out on one awful big step ....... us people took.

E   A   E          A
Union Song. Union Battled.

E   C#m        F#m           E
All added up. Won us all what we got now.

E   A   E          A
Union Song. Union Battled.

E   C#m        F#m           E
All added up. Won us all what we got now.
