And the women tug their hair

Dipped long in Irish stout

The whole place is pickled
GAm
The people are pickles for sure

Than they ever would do in a jar

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome,

Anywhere alone

The Beautiful South were a British pop group formed in 1989, from the ashes of Hull, England group The Housemartins. The band was put together by lead singer, Paul Heaton, and drummer, Dave Hemingway. They were joined by Sean Welch (Bass), Dave Stead (Drums) and Dave Rotheray (Guitar). Rotheray also co-writes the songs with Heaton.
In The Beautiful South, Heaton shared the lead singer’s role with Hemingway and female singer Briana Corrigan to create a trio of lead vocalists.
Thumb Position Check. For bar chords, place the thumb lower on the neck for leverage. For open chords, let it sit higher. Small thumb adjustments reduce hand strain and improve clarity immediately.
