From: wbknox@unity.ncsu.edu Sent: Friday, December 26, 1997 11:33 PM Song: Jimmie Jazz Band: The Clash Album: London Calling (1979) Written by The Clash Transcribed by Luke Knox (lukeknox@iname.com) Well, here it is. I looked everywhere for the tabs for this song, and have only found the bass tab. So, here's my version. The solo sounds good to me, but by all means, let me know if you have a better way of playing this song. Chords: E--0----0----2-----2---| B--2----0----2-----3---| G--2----1----2-----2---| D--2----2----4-----0---| A--0----2----4---------| E------------2---------|
TheA chorEd proF#mgressiDon throughout the whole song is this: (all these chords are strummed 3x) A F#m A D A E (these are each strummed once) A D A E
The pAolice walked in forF#m Jimmy Jazz I sAaid, he ain't here, butD he sure went past AOh, you're looking forE Jimmy AJazzD A E ASattamassaganaF#m for Jimmy Dread ACut off his ears and chopD off his head APolice cam looking forE Jimmy AJazzD A E ASo if you're gonna take a messageF#m 'cross the town AMaybe put it down somewhereD over the other side ASee it gets toE Jimmy AJazDz A E ADon't you bother me, F#mnot anymore AI can't take this taleD, oh, no more AIt's all aroundE, Jimmy AJazzD A E AJ-a-zee F#mzee AJ-a-zed Dzed AJ-a-zed zEed Jimmy JaAzz D A E And then it Asucks, he said, suck that ASo go lookF#m all around, Ayou can try your luck, brother DAnd see what you found But I Aguarantee youE it ain't your Aday your Dday, Ait ain't Eyour day. AChop Chop!
Solo: E----------------------------------------------5s0--------| B-----------------2---2-------2-2-2-2h0---5b-5-----3-1----| G------2///14-2-2---2-------2-----------2---------------2-| D-2s4-------------------2s4-------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------0-2-5-9-12-9-12-9s7-9-7-5----| B-1-3-5-3-1----------------1b2-----------------------------| G----------------2-2-----2---------------------------------| D------------2s4-----2s4-----------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------| There's another riff played after the solo, but it's pretty much the same type of scale thingy. I hope this makes some sense to you. The Clash rule! Luke (lukeknox@iname.com)
