Lisa's Union Strike Folk Song Tab
CAPO ON 1st FRET -
Sorry if I don't have all the chord names/notes listed correctly - I play by ear and can't read a note of music lol.
Ideally played on classical guitar (i.e. not metal strings)
INTRO:
e
B
G
D
A 2
e 0
then go quickly into strum pattern below:
"down up down up down (half pause) up down up, down up down up, down"
*AFTER EACH COMMA IN THE STRUM PATTERN ABOVE HIT THE FOLLOWING CHORD, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE OPEN E:
e
B
G
D
A 2
e 0
*listen to the song on YouTube to get the timing right
MAIN SONG:
Em D
*listen to the song on YouTube; Each chord is strum once slowly (there's a name for this technique but I can't remember lol)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_simpsons/lisas_union_strike_folk_song_tab.html ]
Pattern: Em Em D D Em Em D Em Em X2
Then on the last verse:
e
B
G
D 0
A 2
E then go quickly into the first chord, strum slowly as before:
G G D D Em Em D A (full pause) Em
This should be pretty close. Only thing I'm not sure on is the G G D D part above, but i think its good.

Em Em D D
Now gather round children it's high time ye learned
Em Em D Em Em
about a hero named homer, and a devil named burns
