Help Save the Youth of America Billy Bragg
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is a fun song to play and works well on both an electric and an acoustic.
for electric playing, play power chords (i.e., chords without the third) all
the way through, occasionally slipping in the third (of the chord) for
embellishment... use a lot of reverb (at least) and as much distortion as you
can bear.
for acoustic playing, i just strum the chords -- in open position --
agressively with a medium pick.
"help save the youth of america"
--------------------------------
[G(5)]Help save the youth of [C(5)]Americ[G(5)]a
Help save them from them[D(5)]selves
[G(5)]Help save the sunshine [C(5)]surfer [G(5)]boy
and the [D(5)]California [G(5)]girls (repeat for all the other verses)
i can't remember all the words, but some go like this:
A nation with their freezers full
is dancing in their seats
while outside another nation
is sleeping in the streets
last verse:
[G]The cities of Europe have [C]burned be[G]fore
and they may burn aga[D]in
[G]and this time if they [C]do you [G]bet
that washington will [D]burn with [G]them
omaha will [D]burn with [G]them
los alamos will [D]burn with [G]them[GGCCGCG]
