Sex Mad Roar/War Tablature

Lyrics vary according to show, but I collated them. Note that Fifths are
"power chords". Just play the bass notes of the chord. 
Use heavy damping on
this tune as well. For those of you wondering, 
"Sex Mad Roar" was a piss-take,
done with Do it Now in an afternoon, and so it doesn't count. 
There's a coda on
that track with the bass playing F#-A-B-C# (I think) 
and the guitars doing
F#-A over it( with Nick cheekily playing 
the lead riff from "Jumping Someone
Else's Train" over it), but don't quote me on that.


        F#m                           E                              F#m
Going to a party/ Never made it to the party/ she's gone
      F#m                           E                              F#m
Going to a party/ Never made it to the party/ she's gone
      B5                                                       
Walking here from there
      D5  
Never made it here

 she's gone
F#m                           E                        B5

The Sounds Of the Sinners Tablature

                 D
As the floods of God
              D
Wash away sin city
                A
They say it was written
       G           D
In the page of the Lord
          D
But I was looking 
               D
For that great jazz note
     A        
That destroyed 
    G        D 
The walls of Jericho

    D
The winds of fear
		  D
Whip away the sickness 
                   A                D
The message on the tablets was valium 
       D
As the planets form that golden cross Lord
             A                    D
I'll see you on the holy crossroads.

D
After all this time

To believe in Jesus
                A      
After all those drugs
                D
I thought I was Him

After all my lying and
                        G
A-crying and my suffering
        A
I ain't good enough
        A                  D
I ain't clean enough to be Him.

Somebody Got Murdered Tablature

Chords:   It sounds like there are two guitars and they
          mix up the fingering from lower to higher.  Here are
          the two positions where they alternate.

  E     C#m    A    F#m    B
-4-0-----4----5-0----5-2---2------------------------
-5-0-----5----5-2----7-2---4------------------------
-4-1-----6----6-2----6-2---4------------------------
-6-2-----6----7-2------4---4-----------------------
---2-----4----7-0------4---2----------------------
---0----------5--------2----------------------


Intro:  The song starts with a muffled barred E  keeping beat
        with the snare.  Then, the other guitar comes in with:

repeat
--7---5---4-----------5--4-----7--5--4------
--5-----------5-------5-----5-----------5---
--4-------------------4---------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
        Then they get into heavy chords as follows:
        (played in the higher position sounds best)


E        C#m          A

E        F#m          A  


Verses:

E                A   E
Someone lights a cigarette

      A      E    F#m
While riding in a car

E            A       E
Some ol' guy takes a swig

    A      E        F#m
And passes back the jar

B                   A    E
But where they were last night

A      E   F#m
No-one can remember

C#m          A
Somebody got murdered

     B               E
Goodbye, for keeps, forever


E        C#m       A
Somebody       got murdered

E         F#m        A
Somebody's      dead forever

And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill

Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperse
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch

Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever

/*
Now play the intro riff above these words:
*/

Sounds like murder!
Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?

It's late, and my watch stopped 
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?

Something About England Tablature

(The Clash) 

C                         F
They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
         Dmsus2     Am
Of the respected gentlemen  
     F
They say it would be wine an' roses  
D                                  C
If England were for Englishmen again  
  
C
Well I saw a dirty overcoat  
       Am
At the foot of the pillar of the road  
G7
Propped inside was an old man   
     Am
Whom time would not erode  
         C
When the night was snapped by sirens  
      Am
Those blue lights circled fast  
    G7
The dancehall called for an' ambulance  
    Am
The bars all closed up fast  
  
My silence gazing at the ceiling  
While roaming the single room  
I thought the old man could help me  
If he could explain the gloom  
You really think it's all new  
You really think about it too  
The old man scoffed as he spoke to me  
I'll tell you athing or two  
  
C                          F
I missed the fourteen-eighteen war  
    Am  Em           Am
But not the sorrow afterwards  
        Dm                            F
With my father dead and my mother ran off  
   C                            G
My brothers took the pay of hoods
  
The twenties turned the north was dead  
The hunger strike came marching south  
At the garden party not a word was said  
The ladies lifted cake to their mouths  
  
    C
The next war began and my ship sailed  
Am
With battle orders writ in bed  
   G7
In five long years of bullets and shells  
   Am
We left tem million dead 
    C 
The few returned to old Piccadily  
   Am
We limped around Leicster Square  
    G7
The world was busy rebuilding itself  
    Am
The architects could not care  
  
But how could we know when I was young  
All the canges that were to come?  
All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield  
And now the terror of the scientific sun  
There was masters an' servants an' servants an' dogs  
They taught you how to touch your cap  
But through strikes an' famine an' war an' peace  
England never closed this gap  
  
   C                     F
So leave me now the moon is up  
      Am Em                Am
But remember all the tales I tell  
    Dm                             F
The memories that you have dredged up  
       C
Are on letters forwarded from hell  
  
The streets were by now deserted  
The gangs had trudged off home  
The lights clicked off in the bedsits  
An' old England was all alone

Spanish Bombs

Thanks to Fred for these great chords.  This song works really well
when you play them in as open a position as possible.  The only tricky
one is the C#m/E, which sounds best fingured as (x-x-2-1-2-0).  
The regular
C#m is the usual (x-4-6-6-5-4).

Also, here's the intro, which is repeated during the later verses:

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died up on the hill
They sang the red flag, they wore th black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotel
My senorita's nose was nipped in the bud

Chorus

The hillsides ring with,"Free the people"
Or can I hear the echoes from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets, the ragged armies
Fixin' bayonets, to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC-10 tonight

Chorus :add at end...

When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say poppa poppa poppa poppa
San take me home
See me got photo photo
Photograph of you
Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.

Straight to hell
Oh Poppa-san
Please take me home
Oh Poppa-san
Everybody they wanna go home
So Mamma-san says

(Here is where you simply repeat th intro)

You wanna play mindcrazed banjo
On the druggy+drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International
Hah! Junkiedom U.S.A.
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
and rat poison
The volatile Molatov says-

Go straight to hell

Can you really cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land and there ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

Go straight to hell boys

There's a horn or something in the track. You can hear it well.
It starts at 1:02. I transcribed the horn notes to the guitar.

INTERRUPTING ALL PROGRAMMES

THIS IS RADIO CLASH FROM PIRATE SATELLITE
ORBITING YOUR LIVING ROOM, CASHING IN THE BILL
	OF RIGHTS
CUBAN ARMY SURPLUS OR REFUSING ALL THIRD LIGHTS
THIS IS RADIO CLASH ON PIRATE SATELLITE

THIS SOUND DOES NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE INTERNATIONAL
	PLAN
IN THE PSYCHO SHADOW OF THE WHITE RIGHT HAND 
THEN THAT SEE GHETTOLOGY AS AN URBAN VIET NAM 
GIVING DEADLY EXHIBITIONS OF MURDER BY NAPALM

THIS IS RADIO CLASH – TEARING UP THE SEVEN VEILS 
THIS IS RADIO CLASH – PLEASE SAVE US, NOT THE WHALES 
THIS IS RADIO CLASH – UNDERNEATH A MUSHROOM CLOUD 
THIS IS RADIO CLASH – YOU DON’T NEED THAT FUNERAL
	SHROUD

FORCES HAVE BEEN LOOTING
MY HUMANITY
CURFEWS HAVE BEEN CURBING
THE END OF LIBERTY

HANDS OF LAW HAVE SORTED THROUGH
MY IDENIITY
BUT NOW THIS SOUND IS BRAVE
AND WANTS TO BE FREE - ANYWAY TO BE FREE

THIS IS RADIO CLASH ON PIRATE SATELLITE
THIS IS NOT FREE EUROPE
NOH AN ARMED FORCE NETWORK
THIS IS RADIO CLASH USING AUDIO AMMUNITION
THIS IS RADIO CLASH CAN WE GET THAT WORLD TO
	LISTEN?
THIS IS RADIO CLASH USING AURAL AMMUNITION
THIS IS RADIO CLASH CAN WE GET THAT WORLD TO
	LISTEN?
THIS IS RADIO CLASH ON PIRATE SATELLITE
ORBITING YOUR LIVING ROOM, CASHING IN THE BILL
	OF RIGHTS
THIS IS RADIO CLASH ON PIRATE SATELLITE
THIS IS RADIO CLASH – EVERYBODY HOLD ON TIGHT
