Billy Bragg – Never Buy The Sun (Guitar)

         C             C/B           Am        C/G
Someone's hiding in the bushes with a telephoto lens

            F      Em                D                 G
While their editor assures them, the means justify the ends

           C         C/B                  Am          C/B
Because we only hunt celebrities and it's all a bit of fun

        Fmaj7          G       C
But the Scousers never buy the Sun

         C             C/B           Am        C/G
And the parents of the missing girl cling desperately to hope

            F      Em                D                 G
While a copper takes improper payments in a big brown envelope

           C         C/B                  Am          C/B
And nobody in the newsroom asks where this information's from

        Fmaj7          G       C
But the Scousers never buy the Sun

        Fmaj7                               C
          Tabloids make their money betting bullshit baffles brains

                Dm              G                C
        And they cynically hold up their hands if anyone complains

                 Fmaj7                           Em                  Am
        And they say "Look, all we're doing is giving people what they want"

                      G                              G7
        Well, they're crying out for justice, people crying out for justice

         C             C/B           Am        C/G
And the man they call "The Digger" casts a proprietary eye

            F      Em                D                 G
Over what goes on in the gutter and what happens in the Sky

           C         C/B                  Am          C/B
And he claims he's fit and proper and the watchdog sings his song

        Fmaj7          G       C
But the Scousers never buy the Sun

         C             C/B           Am        C/G
International executives they hang their heads in shame

            F      Em                D                 G
Tell us with their hands on hearts that the paperboy's to blame

           C         C/B                  Am          C/B
But everyone who loves that kiss'n'tell, you must share the blame as well

        Fmaj7          G       C
But the Scousers never buy the Sun

        Fmaj7                              C
          Tabloids making millions betting bullshit baffles brains

                Dm              G                C
        And they cynically hold up their hands if anyone complains

                 Fmaj7                     Em                  Am
        And they say "All we're doing is giving people what they want"

                      G                              G7
        Well, they're crying out for justice, people crying out for justice

         C             C/B           Am        C/G
In the corridors of power they all sit down to sup

            F      Em                D                 G
with the devil and his minions and they for his opinions

           C         C/B                  Am          C/B
But the politicians wring their hands and say "What's to be done?"

        Fmaj7          G       C
But the Scousers never buy the Sun

           C         C/B                  Am          C/B
Well no-one comes out well when all is said and done

        Fmaj7          G       C
But the Scousers never buy the Sun
