Chord/Tab song: 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:

[E]Someone lights a [A]ciga[E]rette

While [A]riding [E]in a [F#m]car

[E]Some ol' guy [A]takes a [E]swig

And [A]passes [E]back the [F#m]jar

[B]But where they were [A]last [E]night

[A]No-one [E]can [F#m]remember

[C#m]Somebody got [A]murdered

Goodb[B]ye, for keeps, f[E]orever

[E]Somebody [C#m] got [A]murdered

[E]Somebody's[F#m] dead [A]forever

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?
