Harry Rag:The Kinks.
Album - Something Else - 1967.
(A Harry Rag is a 'roll your own' cigarette.)
[Cm]Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold, [Bb]Tom is as bold
as a knight of old.
but when[Cm]ever he gets into a [Bb]bit of a jam, there's [G]nothing
he won't do to get a [Cm]Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
[Cm]Harry Rag! Harry Rag! [Bb]Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
And he [Cm]curses himself for the [Bb]life he's led,
and [G]rolls himself a Harry Rag, and [Cm]puts himself to bed.
[Cm]Ah, Tom's old Ma is a dyin' lass, [Bb]soon they reckon she'll
be pushin' up the grass.
And her [Cm]bones might ache and her [Bb]skin might sag,
[G]still she's got the strength to have a [Cm]Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
[Cm]Harry Rag! Harry Rag! [Bb]Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
And she [Cm]curses herself for the [Bb]life she's led,
and [G]rolls herself a Harry Rag, and [Cm]puts herself to bed.
[Cm]Ah, bless you taxman, bless you all, you [Bb]may take some
but you'll never take it all.
But if [Cm]I give it all, I [Bb]won't feel sad,
as [G]long as I've got enough to [Cm]buy a Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
[Cm]Harry Rag! Harry Rag! [Bb]Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
And I [Cm]curse myself for the [Bb]life I've led,
and I [G]roll myself a Harry Rag, and [Cm]put myself to bed.
[Cm]Ah, the smart young ladies of the land, [Bb]can't relax without
a Harry in their hand.
And they [Cm]light one up and they [Bb]boast and brag,
[G]so content because they [Cm]got a Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
[Cm]Harry Rag! Harry Rag! [Bb]Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
And they [Cm]curse themselves for the [Bb]life they've led,
and they [G]roll themselves a Harry Rag, and [Cm]put themselves to bed.
CHORUS:
[Cm]Harry Rag! Harry Rag! [Bb]Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
And I [Cm]curse myself for the [Bb]life I've led,
[G]and I roll myself a Harry Rag, and [Cm]put myself to bed.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
