(just the recognisable intro bit.
The guitar solo continues into the horn solo but basically
repeats the same style switching between the major and minor
pentatonic scales. I seem to remember a trip up to the Am
12 position as well as some Robbie Robertson style pinched
harmonics. Best you just play around with it and see what
happens.)
So if you're gonna take a message 'cross the town
Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side
See it gets to Jimmy Jazz
Don't you bother me, not anymore
I can't take this tale, oh, no more
It's all around, Jimmy Jazz
J-a-zee zee J-a-zed zed
J-a-zed zed Jimmy Jazz
And then it sucks, he said, suck that
So go look all around, you can try your luck, brother
And see what you found
But I guarantee you it ain't your day your day, it ain't
your day.
Chop Chop!

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.

IT'S LUCY IN THE SKY AND ALL KINDS OF APPLE PIE
SHE GIGGLES AT THE SCREEN 'COS IT LOOKS SO GREEN
D
THERE'S CARPETS ON THE PAVEMENT
A
AND FEATHERS IN HER EYE
E Bm D
BUT SOONER OR LATER, HER NEW FRIENDS WILL REALISE
A
THAT JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD
WELL IT SEEMED LIKE A DREAM, TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
STASH IT IN THE BANK WHILE THE TABLETS GROW HIGH
IN THEIR MILLIONS
AND EVERYBODY'S HIGH (HI, MAN...)
BUT THERE'S SOMEONE LOOKING DOWN
FROM THAT MOUNTAINSIDE
'COS JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD
D
AND IT'S TEN YEARS FOR YOU
A
NINETEEN FOR YOU
D
AND YOU CAN GET OUT IN TWENTY-FIVE
A E A
THAT IS IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE
(Bridge) D A E D A
AN' THEN THERE CAME THE NIGHT OF THE GREATEST
EVER RAID
THEY ARRESTED EVERY DRUG THAT HAD EVER BEEN
MADE
THEY TOOK EIGHTY-TWO LAWS
THROUGH EIGHTY-TWO DOORS
AND THEY DIDN'T HALT THE PULL
TILL THE CELLS WERE ALL FULL
'COS JULIE WAS WORKING FOB THE DRUG SQUAD
THEY PUT HIM IN A CELL, THEY SAID YOU WAIT HERE
YOU'VE GOT THE TIME TO COUNT ALL OF YOUR HAIR
YOU'VE GOT FIFTEEN YEARS
A MIGHTY LONG TIME
YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A PHYSICIST
BUT NOW YOUR NAME IS ON THE MAILBAG LIST
JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD

Down the road came a Junco Partner

For he was loaded as can be

He was knocked out, knocked out loaded

He was a'wobblin' all over the street

Singing 6 months ain't no sentence

And one year ain't no time

I was born in Angola
C7 F
Serving 14 to 99
Well I wish I had me $1 million dollars
Oh one million to call my own
I would raise meat and say, "grow for me baby"
I would raise me a tobacco farm
Well I wish I would have me a great deal of money
Yeah and mighty good things all over town
Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends are putting me down
Now I ain't got no more money
I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain
I would have pawned my seat Gabriella
But the smart girl wouldn't sign her name
....
Give me headstone when I die

Advice Tablature
(The Clash)
G Cm6
In these days you can get no rice
G Cm6
No razor blades but you can get knife
G Cm6
In these days see the people run
G Cm6
They have no food but the boy have gun
G Cm6
In these days they don't throw the stone
G Cm6
Nor use the voice they use the gun alone
G Cm6
In these days to be an oddity
G Cm6
Be hunted down like a scarcity
A G/A Dm/A
In these days don't beg for life
A G/A Dm/A
Wanna take Kingston advice?
A G/A Dm/A C G
Oh please don't beg for your life
In these days the beat is militant
Must be a clash there's no alternative
In these days nations are militant
We have slavery under government
In these days in the firmament
I look for signs that are permanent
In these days with no love to give
The world will turn with no one left to live
In these days I don't know what to do
The more I see the more I'm destitute
In these days I don't know what to sing
The more I know the less my tune can swing
In these days you can get no rice
No razor blades but you can get knife
In these days see the people run
They have no food but the boy have gun

The money can be made if you really want some more
Executive decision-a clinical precision
Jumping from the windows-filled with indecision

I get good advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any

So freeze, man, freeze
It's the pause that refreshes in the corridors of power
When top men need a top up long before the happy hour
Your snakeskin suit and your alligator boot
You won't need a launderette, you can send them to the vet!
I get my advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze

Koka Kola advertising and kokaine
Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Neon light sign says it
I read it in the paper-they're crazy!
Suit your life, maybe so
In the White House-I know
All Over Berlin (they've been doing it for years)
And in Manhattan!
Coming through the door is a snub nose 44
What the barrel can't snort it can spatter on the floor
Your eyeballs feel like pinballs
And your tongue feels like a fish
You're leaping from the windows-saying don't
Ayaiiiiirrrghhh! *@!!*@!!*!
Don't give me none of this!
I get good advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze

Gang in Town Tablature

Everybody's looking for last gang in town
F Bb F
You better watch out for they're all comin' around
F
The sport of today is exciting
C F/A F
The in crowd are into infighting
When some punk sees some rock-olla
C F
It's rock and roll all over
C F
In every street and every station
C F
Kids fight like different nations
Bb F/A
And it's brawn against brain
Gm F
And it's knife against chain
Bb F/A
But it's all young blood
C
Flowing down the drain
Fm
The Crops hit the Stiffs
An' the Spikes whipped the Quiffs
Eb Bb
They're all looking 'round
Bb Ab F
For the last gang in town
Meanwhile down in black town
Those old soul rebels are haingin' around
An' when some punk come alooking for sound
Rastaferi goes to ground
The white heart flipped his pocket dipped
'Cos a black sharp knife never slips
And they never say to one antoher
That tomorrow we might kill our brothers
Down from the edge of London
The rockabily rebels came
From another edge of London
Skinhead gangs call out their name
But not the Zydeco kids
From the high rise
Though they can't be recognized
When you hear a cajun fiddle
Then you're nearly in the middle
Of the last gang in town
