Harry Rag:The Kinks.
Album - Something Else - 1967.
(A Harry Rag is a 'roll your own' cigarette.)
#1.
Cm Bb
Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold, Tom is as bold
as a knight of old.
Cm Bb G
but whenever he gets into a bit of a jam, there's nothing
Cm
he won't do to get a Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
Cm Bb
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
Cm Bb
And he curses himself for the life he's led,
G Cm
and rolls himself a Harry Rag, and puts himself to bed.
#2.
Cm Bb
Ah, Tom's old Ma is a dyin' lass, soon they reckon she'll
be pushin' up the grass.
Cm Bb
And her bones might ache and her skin might sag,
G Cm
still she's got the strength to have a Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
Cm Bb
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
Cm Bb
And she curses herself for the life she's led,
G Cm
and rolls herself a Harry Rag, and puts herself to bed.
#3.
Cm Bb
Ah, bless you taxman, bless you all, you may take some
but you'll never take it all.
Cm Bb
But if I give it all, I won't feel sad,
G Cm
as long as I've got enough to buy a Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
Cm Bb
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
Cm Bb
And I curse myself for the life I've led,
G Cm
and I roll myself a Harry Rag, and put myself to bed.
#4.
Cm Bb
Ah, the smart young ladies of the land, can't relax without
a Harry in their hand.
Cm Bb
And they light one up and they boast and brag,
G Cm
so content because they got a Harry Rag.
CHORUS:
Cm Bb
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
Cm Bb
And they curse themselves for the life they've led,
G Cm
and they roll themselves a Harry Rag, and put themselves to bed.
CHORUS:
Cm Bb
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag.
Cm Bb
And I curse myself for the life I've led,
G Cm
and I roll myself a Harry Rag, and put myself to bed.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
