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.
