Honey I'm a Big Boy Now
Billy Bragg

Any corrections or suggestions welcome.
One of my all time favourite Billy Bragg songs. Another tragic tale of love
gone wrong, this time it's due to the hero not pulling his weight with the
domestic chores. Anyone know of any other songs on this theme? Do let me know.
Note that the last chord of the verse pattern is G7 on odd verses (when
followed by another verse) but C7 on even verses (when followed by the
chorus)
Verse 1:
C C7
I can see the kitchen light
F F
From the road where I park my bike
C C G7 G7
But it's dark there as it often is these days
C C7
And the gloomy living room
F F
Really needs a dust and broom
C G7 C
But I can't brush your memory away
[One bar of G7 after verses 1 & 3; one bar of C7 after verses 2 & 4]
Verse 2:
Her father was an admiral
In someone else's navy
And she had seen the world before I met her
She would wash and cook and clean
And all the other things between
And like a fool I just sat there and let her
Chorus 1:
F F
Now I can feed and dress and wash myself
C F
And sleep without the light on
C C G7 G7
Honey, I'm a big boy now
C C7
I don't know what she does
F F
With all the money that I send her
