This repeats four times, then back to the intro riff. If this

doesn't sound right let me know. Also, there is a second guitar

that sounds like its running a counter melody, so if anyone can

figure that out, please post.

 

I am also willing to post some other Clash songs by request to

anyone willing to make similar posts themselves. I have a Clash

songbook with the following songs (just the chords):

 

Off of album The Clash:

o I'm So Bored with the U.S.A.

o White Man in Hammersmith Palais

o Career Opportunities

 

Off of album Give 'Em Enough Rope:

o Guns on the Roof

o Safe European Home

 

Off of album London Calling:

o Hateful

o I'm Not Down

o London Calling

o Lover's Rock

o Spanish Bombs

o Train in Vain

 

Off of album Sandinista!:

o Charlie Don't Surf

o Corner Soul

o Hitsville U.K.

o Ivan Meets G.I.Joe

o Kingston Advice

o The Magnificent Seven

o One More Time

o Rebel Waltz

o Somebody Got Murdered

o Something About England

o Up In Heaven (Not Only Here)

o Version City

o Washington Bullets

 

Off of Combat Rock:

o Straight to Hell

o Should I Stay or Should I Go

o Rock the Casbah

 

...although I won't be particularly eager to post those last two

songs. Make me an offer, though. I'm still looking for many

of the earlier Clash songs, as well as anything by the Jam, Stiff

Little Fingers, Aztec Camera, ......
