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
