CHEAT (Jones/Strummer) Album: Burning London: The Clash
Tribute [Note: Since I haven't heard this entire
song, the positions of the chords may be slightly wrong.
Corrections are welcome!] INTRO D (hit once- hold out), E (hit once- hold
out) [x3] E (hit in an eight note rhythm for two
measures) VERSE 1 A (let ring) D (let ring) I get violent when I'm fucked up A (let ring) D (let ring) I get silent when I'm drugged up A (let ring) D (let ring) E (build
up) I want excitement, if I don't get none I

it A D If you play the game you get nothing out of
it A D E (build up) You'll find out for yourself your trying to
be good...good CHORUS C You better cheat, cheat F No reason to play fair G A Cheat, cheat you can't get
anywhere C E D C# A E Cheat, cheat if you can't win VERSE 3 (same guitar part as verse

anywhere C D E (hit on 1 count- rest on
2,3,4) Cheat, cheat if you can't win (Guitar 1 builds on E) (Guitar 2 enters with a pick
scrape) B A E Don't you use the rules B A E They're not for you, they're for the
fools B A E And you're a fool if you don't know
that B A E So just use the rules you fucking
fool SOLO (one guitar continues to play the B A E
rhythm) The rhythm for the solo is easy to figure
out. The notes are: FIRST SECTION E (9th fret on the G string) and G (7th fret
on the G string) SECOND SECTION Begins on G# (9th fret on B string) then
repeats A (10th fret), B (12th fret), G# (9th fret)-
all on B string. The solo fades out during the second
section. :---------------------------------------------------: |Corrections/additional transcriptions are
