Biografía:
George Formby no es solamente un icono del entertainment británico, sino que su música fue influencia fundamental en el nacimiento del skiffle inglés, estilo claramente enraizado en el Country y en el folk estadounidenses. No sería exagerado afirmar, pues, que sin Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly o Formby, jamás habría existido Lonnie Donegan.
Además, fue precursor de un instrumento del que no se suele hablar demasiado: el banjolele (o banjulele)

Bless Em All The Long and The Short and The Tall Chords
George Formby, Jr 1940 (Fred Godfrey 1917)
Capo I*
A A7 D
D A
They say there's a troopship just leaving Bombay, bound for old Blighty shore
A7 D
Heavily laden with time expired men, bound for the land they adore.
D A
There's many an airman just finishing his time, there's many a twerp signing on.
A7 A A7 A A7 D
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean, so cheer up my lads, Bless 'em All.
D D7 G
Bless em All, Bless em All, the long and the short and the tall
A
Bless all the sergeants and W. O. ones,
E7 E A A7

D A
Now they say that the Sergeant's a very nice chap, oh what a tale to tell.
A7 D
Ask him for leave on a Saturday night and he'll pay your fare home as well.
D A
There's many an airman has blighted his life through writing rude words on the wall
A A7 A A7 A A7 D
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean, so cheer up my lads, Bless em All
