Goodbye Goodbye - Billy Bragg

Goodbye Goodbye Acústico Ao vivo Cifra por Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg - Goodbye (Live)United Kingdom, NorthamptonBox Office of the Calvin Theatre

Although only chords are shown, the picking and bass lines can be easily worked out from the chords. The slash chord (like G/F#) means play a G chord but with F# in the bass. Billy Bragg has a capo on fret 4. He sings this a bit more lively than on the official recording but IMHO it could do with being treated lighter, possibly faster. Losing the mawkishness might increase the emotional effect?
