One way to play it is alternating G and Em, thus:


G...........Em.......G.......Em........>G
Tell Old Bill, when he gets home, this morning

G...........Em.......G.......Em........>D7
Tell Old Bill, when he gets home this evening

G...........Em.......G.......Em
Tell Old Bill, when he gets home,
G..............Em.....C.......D

G...............D7.............G
