Chords for Billy Bragg - I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore (Bing Lounge)

_ Yes, and _ as we were just discussing, in some ways this new album, Two For Now, is me finding my way
back along Mermaid Avenue.
I was off distracted for a little while there, but I'm pleased to say
that Woody Guthrie kind of helped me find my way home a couple of years ago.
I was ready to [G] do [Bb] a
show and [Gb] do one of Woody's old songs, did a little [Bb] rearrangement of it, turned out really well, and
this track, which is on the album, _ ended up being a kind of gateway song for the tone of the new
record.
It's a song that's, _ with its images of people losing their [F] homes to the banks,
of families being split up, searching for work, of people dying for one, the proper [Gb] health care,
could have been written [Ab] any time in the last five years.
[Bb] _
Actually, it's over 70 years old.
Woody Guthrie wrote this song.
It's called I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore.
_ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm]
Just a roaming [Bb] round, _ [Eb] _ just [Gm] a wandering worker, [F] I go from town to town, [G] and the police [Am] make it hard
for me, [Gm] no matter where [Bb] I go.
_ [Eb] _
I [Bb] ain't got no home in [F] this world [Gm] anymore.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ No, I [Bb] ain't got no home
_ [F] in this world [Bb] anymore. _
_ _ _ [Bb] My brothers [F] and my sisters [Eb] are stranded [Bb] on this road, _
[Eb] _ long and [G] dusty road [F] that a million feet of trough.
[Gm] Now the rich man took [F] my home
[Eb] and drove me from [Bb] my door.
_ [Eb] _ I ain't got [Bb] no home [F] in this world anymore.
[Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ No, I ain't got no [Bb] home _
[F] in this [Bb] world anymore. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Gm] I was farming on the [Eb] shears and always [Bb] I was poor.
_ [Eb] My crops [Bb] are laid
[F] into the bankers' [C] store, [Gm] and my wife took down [F] and died [Eb] all on the [Bb] cabin floor. _ _
[Eb] I ain't [Bb] got no
home [F] in this world [Gm] anymore.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ No, I ain't got no [Bb] home _ [F] in this [Bb] world anymore.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] I'm mined [F] in your mines [Eb] and I gathered [Bb] in your corn.
_ [Eb] _ I've been [Gm] working, mister,
[F] since the day that I was born.
[Gm] Now I worry [F] all the time [Eb] like I never did [Bb] before. _ _
[Eb] _ I ain't [Bb] got no
home [F] in this world [Gm] anymore.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
No, I ain't got no [Bb] home _ [F] in this world [Bb] anymore.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] Now as I [F] look around
_ [Eb] it's mighty [Bb] plain to see.
[Eb] This world is such [Gm] a strange [F] and a funny place [Dm] to be [Gm] where the gambling
man [F] is rich _ [Eb] while the working [Bb] man is poor. _
[Eb] _ I ain't [Bb] got no home [F] in this world [Gm] anymore.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
No, I ain't got [Bb] no home _ [Dm] in this world anymore.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
