London Calling Tablature

Version 1
I play this one differently from the posting at
the archive.  Corrections welcome.  Turn the treble way up for best
Mick Jones (or maybe Mr. Strummer) sound.  No solo except for 
heavy feedback on a high B note (listen to the record).

Intro:
Em    Am7    G    Am7


Em                    Am7
London calling to the faraway towns

         Em                  G
Now that war is declared and battle come down

Em                    Am7
London calling to the underworld

     Em                           G
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls

Em                  Am7
London calling, now don't look to us

Em                    G
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust

Em                     Am7
London calling, see we ain't got no swing

Em                        G
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

Em                         G
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in

Em                    G
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin

Em                       G
Engines stop running but I have no fear

Em            Em7           D
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river


Em                 Am7                


London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can got it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you noddin' out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river

Now get this

London calling, yes I was there too
An' you know what they said - well some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
An' after all this, won't you give me a smile?


Em
I never felt so much a' like...

Em Em Em Em G G G G

Em Em Em Em D D D D

D D D D

Then back to the beginning. Basically, 
these are all sticcato quarter notes,
which means they are quarter notes that are slightly abbreviated 
for those
who don't know. The chorus has a different rhythm, 
and it sounds as if it's
in a shuffle rhythm. So there are your chords.

I'M ALL LOST IN THE SUPERMARKET
C#m7
I CAN NO LONGER SHOP HAPPILY
Amaj7
I CAME IN HERE FOB THE SPECIAL OFFER
E                   Eadd9
A GUARANTEED PERSONALITY

E                B         C#m
I WASN'T BORN SO MUCH AS I FELL OUT
Amaj7                  B  E 
NOBODY SEEMED TO NOTICE ME
C#m                     B          Amaj7
WE HAD A HEDGE BACK HOME IN THE SUBURB 
                      B    E
OVER WHICH I NEVER COULD SEE

E                          B       C#m

I'M ALL TUNED IN, I SEE ALL THE PROGRAMMES 
I SAVE COUPONS FROM PACKETS OF TEA
I'VE GOT MY GIANT HIT DISCOTHEQUE ALBUM 
I EMPTY A BOTTLE I FEEL A BIT FREE

THE KIDS IN THE HALLS AND THE PIPES IN THE WALLS 
MAKE ME NOISES FOR COMPANY
LONG DISTANCE CALLERS MAKE LONG DISTANCE CALLS 
AND THE SILENCE MAKES ME LONELY

E        C#7
IT’S NOT HERE
        Amaj7  E Eadd9
IT DISAPPEAR

I’M ALL LOST

Lovers Rock Tablature

     G                              Am
Yeh, you must treat your lover girl right
D                 C
If you wanna make lover's rock  
G                             Am   D       C
You must know a place you can kiss to make lovers rock  
       G                      Am
'Cause everybody knows it's a crying shame  
    D                     C
But nobody knows the poor baby's name  
     G                              Am  D  C
When she forgot that thing that she had to swallow  


You Western man, you're free with your seed  
When you make lovers rock  
But woops! there goes the strength that you need  
To make real cool lovers rock  
'Cause a genuine lover takes off his clothes  
ANd he can make a lover in a thousand go's  
An' she don't need that thing that she had to swallow

WORKING FOR A RISE, BETTER MY STATION 
TAKE MY BABY TO SOPHISTICATION
SHE'S SEEN THE ADS, SHE THINKS IT’S NICE 
BETTER WORK HARD – I SEEN THE PRICE 
NEVER MIND THAT IT'S TIME FOR THE BUS 
WE GOT TO WORK – AN’ YOU’RE ONE OF US 
CLOCKS GO SLOW IN A PLACE OF WORK 
MINUTES DRAG AND THE HOURS JERK

“WHEN CAN I TELL ’EM WOT I DO?
IN A SECOND, MAAAN...ORIGHT CHUCK!”

WAVE BUB-BUB-BUB-BYE TO THE BOSS 
IT’S OUR PROFIT, IT'S HIS LOSS
BUT ANYWAY LUNCH BELLS RING 
TAKE ONE HOUR AND DO YOUR THANNG! 
CHEEESBOIGER!

WHAT DO WE HAVE FOR ENTERTAINMENT?
COPS KICKIN' GYPSIES ON THE PAVEMENT
NOW THE NEWS-SNAP TO ATTENTION!
THE LUNAR LANDING OF THE DENTIST CONVENTION
ITALIAN MOBSTER SHOOTS A LOBSTER
SEAFOOD RESTAURANT GETS OUT OF HAND
A CAR IN THE FRIDGE
OR A FRIDGE IN THE CAB?
LIKE COWBOYS DO IN TV LAND

YOU LOT! WHAT? DON'T STOP. HUH?

SO GET BACK TO WORK AN’ SWEAT SOME MORE
THE SUN WILL SINK AN’ WE’LL GET OUT THE DOOR
IT’S NO GOOD FOR MAN TO WORK IN CAGES
HITS THE TOWN, HE DRINKS HIS WAGES
YOU’RE FRETTIN’, YOU’RE SWEATIN’
BUT DID YOU NOTICE YOU AIN’T GETTIN'?
DON'T YOU EVER STOP LONG ENOUGH TO START?
TO TAKE YOUR CAR OUTTA THAT GEAR
DON'T YOU EVER STOP LONG ENOUGH TO START?
TO GET YOUR CAR OUTTA THAT GEAR
KARLO MARX AND FRIEDRICH ENGELS
CAME TO THE CHECKOUT AT THE 7-11
MARX WAS SKINT BUT HE HAD SENSE
ENGELS LENT HIM THE NECESSARY PENCE

WHAT HAVE WE GOT? YEH-O, MAGNIFICENCE!

LUTHER KING AND MAHATMA GANDHI
WENT TO THE PARK TO CHECK ON THE GAME
BUT THEY WAS MURDERED BY THE OTHER TEAM
WHO WENT ON TO WIN 5O-NIL
YOU CAN BE TRUE, YOU CAN BE FALSE
YOU BE GIVEN THE SAME REWARD
SOCRATES AND MILHOUS NIXON
BOTH WENT THE SAME WAY – THROUGH THE KITCHEN
PLATO THE GREEK OR RIN TIN TIN
WHO'S MORE FAMOUS TO THE BILLION MILLIONS?
NEWS FLASH: VACUUM CLEANER SUCKS UP BUDGIE
OOOOHH...BUB-BYE

MAGNIFICENCE!!

FUCKING LONG, INNIT?

Midnight Log Tablature

G
Working for the devil
Em
You'll have to pay his tax
That means going to see him
Down among the racks'
You don't believe in him
But he can wait for you
    A              G    
You do his work so fine
Em
He'll remember you
B       D      E(high)
He'll remember you

G(high) E(high) 2x

Worried for my friend
As he shows me round the flat
Where I don't wanna find him
His lips an' eyelids black
He don't believe my speech
That lines can and should be drawn
Lke if he had a shotgun
The barrels would be sawn
The barrels would be sawn

Swallowed by the river
Swollen by the rains
That leakin' ol' computer
Of fingerprints and names
Swimming in the river
That floods the neighborhood
I would call to you
But it would do no good
But it would do no good

Voting for the law
That's the general occupation
First comes the public safety
Second comes the nation
You won't believe me now
But there's been some illumination
The wisest cops have realized
They fucked the operation

Cooking up the books
A respected occupation
The anchor and foundation of multi-corporations
They don't believe in crime
They don't know that it exists
But to understand
What's right and wrong
The lawyers work in shifts
The lawyers work in shifts

(little solo bit here.) 
(Just jam around 12th fret on B and E strings) 

'N speaking of the devil
He ain't been seen for years
'Cept every 20 mins
He zooms between me ears
I don't believe in books
But I read all the time
For ciphers to the riddles
An' reasons to the rhymes

(Let E ring and some feedback)

One Emotion Tablature

Intro

Verse
G x D x    C x B x   C D B x    A G

You let it get out
It cuts in your face

Back of a shop
Everybody wants what the next guy's got

Don't think I don't trust
People trample people on the daily bus

Fighting through the night
And if you can keep your buttons down
When it gets right

Is your narrow life
One emotion

Boy meets girl
Smashing (???)
It's that kind of world


One emotion
One emotion

All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion


One emotion
Moving out loud
Better get your weapon ready
Walking through the crowd

One emotion
Back of a shop
Everybody wants what the next guy's got


One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion

One More Time Tablature

(The Clash) 

Em           D            Em           D/F#
Must I get a witness? for all this misery
Em                  D        Em           D/F#
There's no need to, brothers everybody can see  
         Em                   D            
That its one more time in the ghetto you know  
Em                   D/F#
One more time if you please now  
Em                   D
One more time to the dying man  
         Em                   D/F#
They say one more time if you please  
  
The old lady kicks karate  
For just a little walk down the street  
The little baby he knows kung fu  
He tries it on those he meets  
Cos its a one more time!  
  
You don't need no silicone to calculate poverty  
Watch when Watts town burns again  
The bus goes to Montgomery  
  
Cos it's a one more time in the ghetto  
One more time if you please  
One more time for the dying man  
One more time to be free
