#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.

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!
