[ The Warmest Room von Billy Bragg ]



Intro:  C  Am   C  Am

Am      C    Am   C   Am
A rainy afternoon
Am           C       Am   C  Am
Spent in the Warmest Room
    G
She lied before me and said
        F                               C  Am   C  Am
Yes its true, I have seen some hairy men


Am      C    Am   C   Am
She made for the door
Am      C    Am   C   Am
Leaving me on the floor
    G
I wish I'd known biology
    F                               C  Am   C  Am
For the urge that drove me to the edge


Chorus:
             G
And here she comes again
        F
And I'm sitting on my hands
        C                   G
And she sings to me a siren song
G
Here she comes again
  F                        C  Am   C  Am
I imagine it won't be long



Am      C    Am   C   Am
Her brother Barry said
Am      C    Am   C   Am
When he married Marrianne
    G
A wife has three great attributes
        F                               C  Am   C  Am
Intelligence, a Swiss Army knife and charm

 
Am      C    Am   C   Am
Well that's not enough sometimes
Am      C    Am   C   Am
And she may speak her mind
    G
Juliana she believed
        F                       C  Am   C  Am
The only way to defend is to disarm


**Chorus


Bridge:
D                        Em
I know some people whose Idea of fun
      C                    Am
Is to lie face down in the river
       C         Am
In the afternoon sun
D               Em
Oh let me be as free as them
      C                     G
Don't let her pass this way again



Am      C    Am   C   Am
You cannot be blamed
Am      C    Am   C   Am
But I've become insane
    G
With thought of lust, thoughts of power, thoughts of love
        F                   C  Am   C  Am
And the thought of chairman Mao


Am      C    Am   C   Am
We've had such little time
Am      C    Am   C   Am
Be it your place or mine
    G
I can't wait to take our blood test
        F                          C  Am   C  Am
Oh baby, lets take our blood test now


**Chorus
