THE BUSY GIRL BUYS BEAUTY
Tabbed by Tcoldsteel
One of my favourite Billy Bragg songs.

LITTLE DISTORTION (maybe overdrive) & DELAY (3+) or echo.
Heavy on the treble and turned up LOUD.
Tuning: standard

Open chords with picking on bass note at chord changes. Like all Billy's early songs 
of palm-muting.

CAPO 3!!!

Any suggestions are welcome.
Can anyone work out 'lover's town revisited'?
Also what is that beaten up, brown guitar that billy played in his early days?
