                 D A A            D A A
You say you stand      by your man
            D  A  A                    D A A
Tell me something    I don't understand
             D                      Bm
You said you loved me, and that's a fact
             D A A                      D A A
The you left me,   said you felt trapped
           D                         A
Well, some things you can't explain away
        Bm                            D
But the heartache's with me till this day

                       D A A
You didn't stand by me
             D A A
No, not at all
                      D A A
You didn't stand by me
      D A A
No way


All the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumblin' down
I can't be happy without you around
So alone, I keep the wolves at bay
And there's only one thing I can say

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
           A     F#m  Bm                  D A A  D A A
You must expla-a-a-ain   why this must be
        A    F#m Bm                     D A A  D A A
Did you li-i-i-ie  when you spoke to me?
                    D A A                D A A
Did you stand be me?      No, not at all


Now I got a job, but it don't pay
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there nothing I can do

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Up In Heaven (Not Only Here) Tablature

(The Clash) 

A                D                    A
The towers of London, these crumbling rocks  
         D                       F#m
Reality estates that the hero's got  
                 Bm                       G
And every hour's marked by the chime of a clock  
    A                         A
And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds?  
        A                            D
You can piss in the lifts which have broken down  
        F#m                       A/E          D
You can watch from the debris the last bedroom light  
        F#m               D   D/E  A   D F#m D
We're invisible here just past midnight  
  

The wives hate their husbands and their husbands don't care  
Their children daub slogans to prove they lived there  
A giant pipe organ up in the air  
You can't live in a home which should not have been built  
By the bourgeoise clerks who bear no guilt  
When the wind hits this building this building it tilts  
One day it will surely fall to the ground...  
  
Fear is just another commodity here  
They sell us peeping holes to peek when we hear  
A bang on the door resoundingly clear  
Who would really want to move in here?  
The children play faraway, the corridors are bare  
This room is a cage its like captivity  
                                  A  D
How can anyone exist in such misery?  

D              A D           A  D Bm G
It has been said not only here  
  
A            D       
"Allianza dollars are spent   
A                     D
To raise the towering buildings  
A                   D
For the weary bones of the workers  
Bm                G      A
To go back in the morning  
To be strong in the morning"

A  D  A  D  A  D  Bm  G

Version City Tablature

(The Clash) 

           Dm7              Gm7
There is a train at Version City  
Am7/G   Dm7            Gm7
Waiting for the rhythm mail
Am7/G      Dm7                  Gm7
If you can jump then jump right now  
Am7/G            Dm7     F  Em     Dm7
She can pull you through to better days  
  

Is that the train that the speak of  
The one I heard in my younger days  
All great bluesmen have rode her  
I'm jumping up gonna ride that train  

                 Bm              D
There's a lonely soul out on the crossroads  
             Bm                   D
He's waiting there in the pouring rain  
             Bm             D
He's looking for that great ride yeh  
                 Bm               D
That'll take him to oh what's her name  
  
               Dm7                Gm7
So I rode that train from Version City
    Am7/G  Dm7               Gm7
For ninety-nine an' one half days  
Am7/G Dm7               Gm7
Never heard such rhythm sound  
Am7/G        Dm7  F         Em     Dm7
It was in my soul which was on the train  
  
We went straight through Syndrum Inc.  
Up an' over the Acapella Pass  
Then Gibson Town and Fenderville  
All stations to the Mesa Boogie Ranch  

            Bm              D
We saw that soul out on the cross roads  
        Bm                   D
Waitin' there in the pouring rain
              Bm               D
We called hey engine slow your rhythms  
                Bm               D
See he wants to ride the version train  
  
             Dm7                Gm7
We rode that train from Version City  
Am7/G      Dm7               Gm7 
For ninety-nine and one half years  
Am7/G   Dm7             Gm7
I never seen such funky country  
Am7/G        Dm7  F   Em  Dm7
While riding with the engineers  
  

Could not fill no application  
Before I rode this rhythm train  
Could not work at my station  
Before I rode the version train  
  
There is a train at Version City  
Waiting for the rhythm mail  
If you can jump then jump right now  
She can pull you through to better days

Washington Bullets Tablature

(The Clash) 

E
Oh! Mama, Mama look there!  
E
Your children are playing in that street again
E  
Don't you know what happened down there?  
E
A youth of fourteen got shot down there 
E 
The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town  
E
The killing clowns, the blood money men  
    B6       A6   B6          E
Are shooting those Washington bullets again  
  

As every cell in Chile will tell  
The cries of the tortured men  
Remember Allende, and the days before,  
Before the army came  
Please remember Victor Jara,  
In the Santiago Stadium,  
Es Verdas - those Washington Bullets again  
           E
And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961, 
E 
Havana for the playboys in the Cuban sun,  
E
For Castro is a colour,  Is a redder than red,  
E
Those Washington bullets want Castro dead  
    B6            A6 
For Castro is the colour...  
B6                      E
...That will earn you a spray of lead  
  
For the very first time ever,  
When they had a revolution in Nicaragua,  
There was no interference from America  
Human rights in America  
  
Well the people fought the leader,  
And up he flew...  
With no Washington bullets what else could he do?  
  
'N' if you can find a Afghan rebel  
That the Moscow bullets missed  
Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist...  
...Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet,  
How many monks did the Chinese get?  
In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary,  
'N' check the British bullets in his armoury  
Que?  
B6   A6   B6 E
Sandinista!

On stage they ain't got no roots, rock, rebel.


'Cause it won't get you anywhere
Foolin' with your guns.
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons.
White youth, black youth,
Better find another solution.
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution.

Punk rockers of the U.K.,
They won't notice anyway.
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting.
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned.
They got Burton suits.  Huh, you think it's funny
Turning rebelion into money.

All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats.
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limosine anyway.
I'm the all-night, drug prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun.
I'm the white man in the Palais
    A    E           A   D

Wrong 'Em Boyo Tablature

(C. Alphanso) 

One of my favs from London Calling, Intro. has the hammond organ 
sound and the rest is play with a "ska" guitar(plenty of 
upstrokes and left hand mutes). There's not a lot of changes with the   
guitar, it's the walking bass line and the organ that really makes the   
sound 
 
 
The intro is play on "big hammond" notes not chords 
E               D 
Stagger Lee met Billy and 
      C             D 
they got down to gambling 
E                   
Stagger Lee throwed seven 
D                         C 
Billy said that he throwed eight 
 
    E                D                    C            D 
So  Billy said, "hey stagger! I'm gonna make my big attack 
E                           D             C                       
I'm gonna have to leave my knife in your back 
 
Start all over again! 
 
Chord Progression for rest of Song 
G 6x 
C 2x 
G 2x 
D 2x 
 
First Verse 
G 
Why do you try to cheat 
 
and trample people under your feet 
                       C 
Don't you know it is wrong  
To cheat a trying man 
                       G     
Don't you know it is wrong 
To cheat a trying man 
                D  
So you better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo 
 
 Second Verse 
You lie steal and deciet 
In such a small, small game 
Don't you know it is wrong 
To cheat a trying man 
Don't you know it is wrong 
To Cheat a trying man 
You'd better stop, It is the wrong em boyo 
 
Third verse (Instrumental) 
 
Fourth Verse 
 
Billy Boy has been shot 
and Stagger Lee's come out on top 
Don't you know it is wrong 
To cheat a trying man 
Don't you know it is wrong 
To Cheat Stagger man 
You'd better stop 
It is the wrong em boyo 
 
Fifth Verse 
 
So you must start all over again, 
all over again 
You got to play it Billy play, you got to  
play it, billy play 
and you will find it is the right 'em boyo 
 
Sixth Verse 
But if you must lie and deceit 
and trample people under your feet 
Don't you know it's wrong 
To cheat a trying man 
You'd better stop 
It is the wrong 'em boyo 
??
