Four Horsemen Tablature This song is played on a detuned guitar (or maybe they slowed down the tape in the studio.) The B is transcribed here as a BMaj but something is taken off. If you need to tune your guitar use the opening chord and tune to it. Aside from that it's pretty straight-forward. Verse I B A B Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in the sun That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue But they told no one where they had begunE four horsemen Verse II (same chords) They were given all the foods of vanity And all the instant promises of immortality But they bit the dust screamin' insanity!four horsemen Verse III One was over the edge, one was over the cliff One was lickin' em dry with a bloody great spliff When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift From the horsemen Chorus or Bridge E But you! A B E You're not searching, are you now? You're not looking anyhow You're never gonna ride that lonely mile Or put yourself up on trial Oh, you told me how your life was so bad An' I agree that it does seem sad But that's the price that you gotta pay If you're lazing all around all day Four horsement coming right through Four horsemen and they're pissing by you They make you look like you're wearing a truss Four hosemen and it's gonna be us Verse IV Well they gave useverything for bending the mind ANd we cleaned out their pockets and we drank 'em blind IT's a long way to the finish so don't get left behind By those horsemen Verse V And they gave us the grapes that went ripe in the sun That loosen the scews at the back of the tongue But we still told nothing 'bout what was to come Four horsemen

Ghetto Defendant Tablature Transcribed by: Seegnolls (Seegnolls@aol.com) Additional tab by: Zeebanned (Zeebanned@aol.com) One of the most frustrating Clash songs to figure out for me is Ghetto Defendant. There are twenty thousand things going on at once, from Joe's wailing, to Ginsberg's moaning, to Mick's Synth guitar to wacky cowbells. Here's what I could make of it. Play with right hand damping. I included two versions, neither of which I am positive is correct in the last measure of the riff. Anyone with corrections, please post. Chorus riff version 1 e b g d a e

(The Clash) G C Em I slept and I dreamed of a time long ago Bm Em Am I saw an army of rebels, dancing on air G C Em I dreamed as I slept, I could see the campfires, Bm Em Bm A song of the battle, that was born in the flames, Em Bm G and the rebels were waltzing on air. I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz that was written to be danced on the battlefield I danced to the tune of a voice of a girl A voice that called "Stand till we fall we stand till all the boys fall." As we danced came the news that the war was not won 5 armies were coming, with carrige and gun Through the heart of the camp swept the news from the front A cloud crossed the moon, a child cried for food We knew the war could not be won. So we danced with a rifle, to the rhythm of the gun in a glade through the trees i saw my only one Then the earth seemed to rise hell hot as the sun The soldiers were dying, there was tune to the sighing. The song was an old rebel one. As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees I slept as I dreamed I saw the army rise A voice began to call, stand till you fall The tune was an old rebel one.

Sex Mad Roar/War Tablature Transcribed by: Seegnolls (Seegnolls@aol.com) 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 pisstake, 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 Going to a party/ Never made it to the party/ she's gone F#m E Going to a party/ Never made it to the party/ she's gone B5 Walking here from there D5 Never made it here C#5/F#m-C#5/F#m she's gone F#m E B5 Walk right out of that ditch/ It's a Sex Mad War Chorus B-B B/Bb/A That's the Sex Mad War B-B B/Bb/A That's the Sex Mad War

Something About England Tablature Transcribed by: Raymond P. Sferra (72724.514@CompuServe.COM) (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 The The An'
streets were by now deserted gangs had trudged off home lights clicked off in the bedsits old England was all alone

Spanish Bombs From: ppalmer@ironwood.cray.com (Peter Palmer) 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: Intro: A F#m C#m Bm Dm A F#m C#m Bm Dm ---------------------1-------------------------------1-----------------------------------3-------------------------------3--------------2-----1----2---------2---------1---2---1---2---------2----------------------------4--------------------------------4-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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... A F#m C#m/E F#m C#m/E Spanish songs in Andalusia, Mandalina G/D Oh my corazon A F#m C#m/E F#m C#m/E Spanish songs in Granada G/D A F#m Bm7 Dm A Oh my corazon

Alphanso) Transcribed by El Guapo (john escalante) jescala@earthlink.net 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!
