Well, here it is. I looked everywhere for the tabs for this song, and
have only found the bass tab. So, here's my version. The solo sounds
good to me, but by all means, let me know if you have a better way of
playing this song.
Chords:
E--0----0----2-----2--- B--2----0----2-----3--- G--2----1----2-----2--- D--2----2----4-----0--- A--0----2----4--------- E------------2---------
The[A] chor[E]d pro[F#m]gressi[D]on throughout the whole song is this:
(all these chords are strummed 3x) A F#m A D A E
(these are each strummed once) A D A E
The p[A]olice walked in for[F#m] Jimmy Jazz
I s[A]aid, he ain't here, but[D] he sure went past
[A]Oh, you're looking for[E] Jimmy [A]Jazz[D] [A] [E]
[A]Sattamassagana[F#m] for Jimmy Dread
[A]Cut off his ears and chop[D] off his head
[A]Police cam looking for[E] Jimmy [A]Jazz[D] [A] [E]
[A]So if you're gonna take a message[F#m] 'cross the town
[A]Maybe put it down somewhere[D] over the other side
[A]See it gets to[E] Jimmy [A]Jaz[D]z[A] [E]
[A]Don't you bother me, [F#m]not anymore
[A]I can't take this tale[D], oh, no more
[A]It's all around[E], Jimmy [A]Jazz[D] [A] [E]
[A]J-a-zee [F#m]zee [A]J-a-zed [D]zed
[A]J-a-zed z[E]ed Jimmy Ja[A]zz[D] [A] [E]
And then it [A]sucks, he said, suck that
[A]So go look[F#m] all around, [A]you can try your luck, brother
[D]And see what you found
But I [A]guarantee you[E] it ain't your [A]day your [D]day, [A]it ain't
[E]your day.
[A]Chop Chop!
Solo:
E----------------------------------------------5s0-------- B-----------------2---2-------2-2-2-2h0---5b-5-----3-1---- G------2///14-2-2---2-------2-----------2---------------2- D-2s4-------------------2s4------------------------------- A--------------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------- E-----------------------------0-2-5-9-12-9-12-9s7-9-7-5---- B-1-3-5-3-1----------------1b2----------------------------- G----------------2-2-----2--------------------------------- D------------2s4-----2s4----------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------
There's another riff played after the solo, but it's pretty much the same
type of scale thingy. I hope this makes some sense to you. The Clash rule!
