[Chorus]
[chords same as Intro]
EI'm all lost in the supermarket.
C#m7I can no longer shop happily.
AI came in here for the special offer,
Ea guar-an-teed per-so-Bnal-i-Ety.
[Verse 1,2]
[between 's is 1 measure, 2nd and 3rd switches are on counts 3 and 4]
EI wasn't born so Bmuch as I C#mfell out.
ANobody seemed to Bnotice Eme.
C#mWe had a hedge back Bhome in the Asuburb,
Amaj7over which I Bnever could Esee.
EI heard the people who Blive on the C#mceiling
Ascream and fight most BscariEly.
C#mHearing that noise was my Bfirst ever Afeeling!
Amaj7That's how it's been Ball around Eme.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3,4]
EI'm all tuned in, I Bsee all the C#mprograms.
AI save coupons from Bpackets of Etea.
C#mI've got my giant hit Bdiscotheque Aalbum!
Amaj7I empty a bottle, I Bfeel a bit Efree.
EThe kids in halls and the Bpipes in the C#mwalls
Amake me noises for BcompaEny.
C#mLong distance callers make Blong distance Acalls!
Amaj7And the silence makes Bme loneEly.

Intro/Chorus Details w/ Strumming Timing:
Notes: The previous tabs made this so confusing. The basic chords seem simple enough.
They are just a little repetitive and get spiced up a bit. I wouldn't take it too
seriously as this is mostly a very simple song.

I was surprise there wasn't a decent tab in this site for this song. Hopefully, this is one.
If not, let me have it - you Clash fans seem pretty picky/nasty.
