"The Clash Didn't Smash The Town Hall" - Joe Solo - The Future Needs Us Now - 2017
Transcribed by wranglingoutlaw
Capo 2, 3/4 time & key of D
C C/B Am
Pulling 10 til 8's at Renny's
F C G
It was driving Me beserk
C C/B Am
And I'd stopped for twenty Bennies
Dm F
On My way back home from work
G E
When shuffle sent a song My way
Am C
I hadn't heard in years
Dm Am
'Complete Control' came pounding out -
F | C | C/B |
And I fought back the tears
C C/B Am
It must have been November
F C G
'Cos Me Dad was still at home
C C/B Am
When The Clash hit 'Boro Town Hall
Dm F
With that riot, all their Own
G E
We'd spiked Our hair with soap
Am C
And We'd sewn zips into Our jeans
Dm Am F
Looking back We hadn't much of nothing-
G
But Our dreams
Chorus:
F G C
There was Me and Jack and Johnny
F G C
And a stolen bottle of gin
F G C
We didn't have a penny
Am Dm G
But the band, They let Us in
F G C
Took Me 30 years to see it
F G | Am | Am |
On a Number 19 bus!
C G F
The Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
C G F
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
C G F
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
| C ..
That was Us
.. | C | C | G |
| C | C | C | G ..
C C/B Am
There was Mick and Paul and Topper
F C G
And in the centre of the stage
C C/B Am
There was Strummer barking orders
Dm F
In that mystic kinda rage
G E
This was Our Rebel Army
Am C
And They'd come to take Our Town
Dm C
We let out all Our anger
F G
And We tore the damn place down
Chorus
F G C
There was Me and Jack and Johnny
F G C
And a stolen bottle of gin
F G C
We didn't have a penny
Am Dm G
But the band, They got Us in
F G C
Took Me 30 years to see it
F G | Am | Am |
On a Number 19 bus!
C G F
The Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
G | C | C | G | G |
That was Us
| C | C | F | F |
| C | C | G | G |
| Am | Am | F | F |
| G | G | G | G ..
C C/B Am
The band are dead and gone now
F C G
And I thought I was too
C C/B Am
But Strummer woke up something
Dm | F | F |
When He shouted: "That means You!"
G E
And I jacked my job at Renny's
Am C
What I'll do now, I don't know
Dm Am
But I owed it to the young man I was
F G
All them years ago
F G C
And the moral of this story
F G C
Is you've one life, don't you blow it
F G C Am
And anyone can change the world
Dm G
It's just most of us don't know it
F G C
You either live life, like you mean it
F G Am
Or you rack up more regrets
F C
And I'm 53 next Friday
F G
But I aren't finished yet
F G C
Took me 30 years to see it
F G | Am | Am |
On a Number 19 bus!
C G F
The Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
C G F
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
C G F
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
