The Stereophonics
Handbags and Gladrags
by Russell Reading
Based loosely on a tab originally transcribed by Ian McAllister
This is the "easy to play" version, as the "correct"
version has Capo on 3rd fret and uses G, G7, C and C/D
but sounds essentially the same, (probably).
All you need is the progression A A7 D E with two strums
on each, (then getting fancy oncy you have it down).
Capo on 1st
Intro: A A7 D E x 3
A A7 D
Ever see a blind man cross the road
E A A7 D E
Trying to make the other side
A A7 D
Ever see a young girl growing old
E A A7 D E
Trying to make herself a bride
F# E
So what becomes of you my love
A B
When they have finally stripped you of
D
The handbags and the gladrags
E A
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
E
A A7 D
Once I was a young man
E A A7 D E
And all I thought I had to do was smile
A A7 D
Well you are still a young girl
E A A7 D E
And you bought everything in style
F# E
So once you think you're in you're out
A B
'Cos you don't mean a single thing without
D
The handbags and the gladrags
E A
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
E
A A7 D
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
E A A7 D E
And take a bottle full of rye
A A7 D
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
E A A7 D E
And bake them all in a pie
F# E
They told me you missed school today
A B
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
D
The handbags and the gladrags
E A
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
F# E
They told me you missed school today
A B
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
D
The handbags and the gladrags
E A
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
A A7 D E
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STEREOPHONICS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
