Another ascerbic valentines themed ukulele song for the run in to February 14th - Valentines Day Is Over by Billy Bragg for ukulele!

I love this song, but then I love Billy Bragg and this is off the Workers Playtime LP. The song video is at the end, but generally it's a song that mixes picking and more angry strumming. Have fun. (The trick is in the chord change between the C, Em, and Am which is a quick change before each 'Valentines Day Is Over' lyric line. You may also prefer the sound of the Dm in the verses being played at a higher position than at the lower frets such as 7555.INTRO C, F, F, CF, CF, GF, C[C]Someday [F]boy you’ll [F]Reap what you’ve[C]sownYou’ll [F]catch a [C]cold and you’ll be [F] on your [G]ownAnd [F] you will [C] see that what’s [F] wrong with [C] meIs [F] wrong with [C] everyone that [Dm]you wanna play your [G] little games onF, C[C]Poetry and [F]flowers, [F]pretty words and [C] threats[F]You’ve gone to the [C]dogs again and [F]I’m not placing [G] bets on you[F]Coming [C] home tonight [F] anything but [C]blindIf [F] you take me for [C] granted then you [Dm] must expect to [G] findSur [F]prise sur [C]prise[C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is [C]over, it’s O[F]ver[G][C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is O[F]ver[C][F] [C][G7]If you want to [F]talk about it well [C] you know where the phone is [G7]Don’t come round rem [E7]inding me ag[F]ain How brittle [Fm] bone is…[C]God didn’t make you an [G]angel [F]The Devil made you a [G] manThat bru[C]tality and the ec[E7]onomy are rel[F]ated now I under[Fm]standOh when will you [C]realize that [E7]as above [F]so below there [Fm]is no love[F] [C][C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is [C]over, its o[F]ver[G][C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is o[F]ver[C][F] [C]TRUMPET SOLO[G7] [F] [C][G7] [E7] [F] [Fm]For the [C] girl with the hourglass [G] figureTime [F] runs out very [G] fastWe [C]used to want the [E7]same thingsBut [F]that’s all in the [Fm]pastAnd[C]lately it seems that [E7]as it all gets tougher[F]Your idea of justice just be [Fm]comes rougher and rougher[F] [C][C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is o[F]ver[C] It’s o[F]ver[G][C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is o[F]ver[C][F] [C][C]Thank you for the [F]things you bought me [F]Thank you for the [C] card[F]Thank you for the [C]things you taught me [F]when you hit me [G] hardThat [F]love between two [C] people must be [F]based on under[C]standingUn[F]til that’s true you’ll [C]find your things all [Dm]stacked out on the [G]landingSur [F]prise sur[C]prise[C] [Em][Am]Valentines Day is o[F]ver[C] It's o[F] ver[G][C] [Em] [Am]Valentines Day is o[F]verIt’s o[G] ver[C]It’s o[F] ver[C][G] [C]
