Capo: 2

A Town Called Malice by The Jam. Tabbed By Brook Jackson When You're playing the B chord, you need to hammer on the C note at the end of the bar, if played from the 1st position is the G string on the 6th fret or if you play it at the 7th fret, it will be the D string at the 11th fret. It sounds best if you play with a capo on the 2nd fret, play all chords as normal except E, play the D chord, Capo 2 makes an E. Intro: B B B B
