The Clash - Somebody got murdered

From: ppalmer@ironwood.cray.com (Peter Palmer) Somebody Got Murdered The Clash Album: Sandinista Lyrics c/o uwp Chords: It sounds like there are two guitars and they mix up the fingering from lower to higher. Here are the two positions where they alternate. E C#m A F#m B -4-0-----4----5-0----5-2---2-------------------------| -5-0-----5----5-2----7-2---4-------------------------| -4-1-----6----6-2----6-2---4-------------------------| -6-2-----6----7-2------4---4-------------------------| ---2-----4----7-0------4---2-------------------------| ---0----------5--------2-----------------------------| Intro: The song starts with a muffled barred E keeping beat with the snare. Then, the other guitar comes in with: repeat --7---5---4-----------5--4-----7--5--4------| --5-----------5-------5-----5-----------5---| --4-------------------4---------------------| --------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------| Then they get into heavy chords as follows: (played in the higher position sounds best) E C#m A E F#m A Verses: And you're minding your own business Carrying spare change You wouldn't cosh a barber You're hungry all the same I been very tempted To grab it from the till I been very hungry But not enough to kill Somebody got murdered His name cannot be found A small stain on the pavement They'll scrub it off the ground As the daily crown disperse No-one says that much Somebody got murdered And it' left me with a touch Somebody got murdered Somebody's dead forever /* Now play the intro riff above these words: */ Sounds like murder! Those shouts! Are they drunk down below' It's late, and my watch stopped Some time ago Sounds like murder! Those screams! Are they drunk down below' %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Pete Palmer ppalmer@cray.com %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Go, little record go! - Pixies
