I love this song, but then I love Billy Bragg and this is off the Workers Playtime LP. The song video is at the end, but generally it's a song that mixes picking and more angry strumming. Have fun. (The trick is in the chord change between the C, Em, and Am which is a quick change before each 'Valentines Day Is Over' lyric line. You may also prefer the sound of the Dm in the verses being played at a higher position than at the lower frets such as 7555.
