Band: Spirogyra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirogyra_%28band%29)
Song: The future won't be long
Album: St. Radigunds
Tabber: Andrew Biles
This is roughly how I play the song. It can likely be improved.
Hopefully it makes sense. In the verses, where it is written Asus4 / A, do a
similar thing to the intro and move the fretted B string between frets 3 and 2.
Standard tuning

Long ago, ago, ago, ago before the war
Contractors to her majesty's government we were
dealers in honest trade
there were some mighty queer folk about
/
but most were honest workers and knew their place
I was a skilled craftsmen, mark you
the work was hard and the hours were long
Ah, but there was a maiden
/
and her name was Marjorie
Long black hair she had like a gypsy
And the prettiest smile I'd ever seen
and I called her an angel
/
and I was right, she was
Then there was a war, the war

Forging a pathway for freedom
using resources we need them
though are foes are human beings we stand between them
and a life we do condone
shipped out to Belgium to starve them
plastered and shelled them but lost ground
bombs and rockets, V2's over London city
and the world at their command
And back in Yeadon, Marjorie
stood beneath a factory
I was assured she felt okay

Withdrawn from Dunkirk in cruisers
who cares says I, we're all losers
No one wins both sides the victims of our nature
May the future learn
and back in Yeadon, Marjorie
died beneath the factory
a Messerschmidtt her destiny
D5, C, D5, A (x3 - last time double bars)
You who think the rest are wrong
and stand so tall and feel so strong
please be sure that you yourselves are not mistaken
or the future won't be long
