 C'MON BILLY
 by Polly Jean Harvey
 Performed by PJ Harvey
 from "To Bring You My Love" LP
 Chords written out by David Heggie
 
 Firstly, the song itself is fairly easy to play chord-wise -
 there's no hard chords in it at all.  There's a fair amount of
 muting of the strings, very like in her other song on the same
 album, "Send His Love To Me". No amount of describing would tell
 you how to play this - just listen to the record and play along -
  you'll get the hang of it.
 
 The chords used & how to play them are :
 
      Am    C    Dm    Em e:---0-----0----1-----0-----  Notice how she plays the Am chord
 B:---1-----1----3-----0-----  it's played this way (hammering on
 G:---0h2---0----2-----0-----  the E and A notes) throughout the
 D:---0h2---2----0-----2-----  verses.  Again, to make it
 A:---0-----3----0-----2-----  clearer, listen to the record.
 E:---0----(3)---x-----0-----
 
 Here's how they fit into the Verse and Chorus :
 
 [VERSE]
 
 Am           C   Am          C
   C'mon Billy,     Come to me
 Am                    C       Dm   C   Dm C   Am
   You know I'm waiting,  I'll love you endlessly.
 Am           C  Am                   C
   C'mon Billy,    you're the only one,
 Am                          C       Dm  C    Dm C  Am
   Don't you think it's time now you met your on-ly son ?
 Am          C   Am                C
   I remember      our lovers' play
 Am                   C     Dm  C  Dm C   Am
   The corn was golden,  we lay in it for days
 Am          C   Am                   C
   I remember      the things you said
 Am               C         Dm C    Dm C     Dm
   My little Billy,    come to your lo-ver's bed
 
 [CHORUS]
 Dm          Am
   Come home,  is my plea
 Em                Am
   Your home now is  here with me
 Dm         Am
   Come home  to your son
 Em
   Tomorrow might never come
 
 [VERSE]
 C'mon Billy, you look good to me
 How many nights now your child inside ohh - v.unsure about this!
 Don't forget me, I had your son
 Damn thing went crazy, but I swear you're the only one
 
 [INSTRUMENTAL] for rest of verse
 
 Then just repeat :
 
 Am                C  Am          C
   Come along Billy,    Come to Me
 
 Until the end of the song.
 Easy-Peasy.

 PJ HARVEY: "C'MON BILLY"
 (Polly Jean Harvey)
 from the album To Bring You My Love
 
 
 (Don't strum all the strings on the following chords although on some strokes
 you will need to. It's not too hard once you get the feel of it.)
 G4 -- 330003  
 A4 -- 002200
 
 
 Verse one:
 -------------
 G4  A4              G4                  
          C'mon Billy
 A4               G4
   Come to me
 A4                               G4
   You know I'm waiting
   A4                           G4
 I love you endlessly
 A4                G4
    C'mon Billy
 A4                              G4
   You're the only one
 A4                                           G4
    Don't you think it's time now
         A4                            G4
 You met your only son
 
 A4                  G4
    I remember
 A4                    G4
    Lovers' play
 A4                                     G4
    The corn was gold and
       A4                         G4
 We lay in it for days
 A4                    G4
       I remember
 A4                                G4
    The things you said
 A4                     G4
    My little Billy,
           A4
 Come to your lover's bed
 
 
 Verse two:
 --------------
 Am
    Come home

 Am
    Come home
 C/A
    To your son
 Em7 (770007)
    Tommorrow might never come

 You look good to me
 How many nights now?
 Your child inside oh
 Don't forget me
 I had your son
 Don't think we're crazy 
 But I swear you're the only one
 
 
 (Instr -- using chords from verse two)
 
 
 Ending:
 ---------
 G4  A4                                                  G4   X7
        Come along Billy now come to me   
 A4                                    Am
 Come along now come to      me
