HARRY RAG- The Kinks

     Bm
Ah, Tom will show and Tom will smoke
 A
Tom is as bold as a knight of old
      Bm                     A
But whenever he gets into a bit of a jam
          F#                          Bm
There's nothing he won't do to get a Harry Rag

CHORUS:
 Bm                    A
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
         Bm                     A
And he curses himself for the life he's led
      F#
And rolls himself a Harry Rag
      Bm                 Bm F# Bm F# Bm
And puts himself to bed

Ah, Tom's old ma is a dyin' lass
Soon they reckon she'll be pushin' up the grass
And her bones might take and her skin might sag
Still she's got the strength to have a Harry Rag

CHORUS:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And she curses herself for the life she's led
And rolls herself a Harry Rag
And puts herself to bed

Ah, bless you taxman, bless you all
You may take some but you'll never take it all
But if I give it all I won't feel sad
As long as I've got enough to buy a Harry Rag

CHORUS:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And I curse myself for the life IAnd roll meself a Harry Rag
And put myself to bed

Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Can't relax without a Harry in their hand
And they light one up and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag

CHORUS:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And they light one up and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag

Harry Rag! Harry Rag! IAnd I curse myself for the life IAnd rolls meself
a Harry Rag
And puts meself to bed
