We had a hedge back home in the suburb,

The kids in halls and the pipes in the walls

And the silence makes me lonely.

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.

(Basics...)
1 & . 2 & . 3 & . 4 & .
E
/ / / / / / / / / / (//)
C#m7
/ / / / / / / / / (////)
A

E

(In detail...)
1 & . 2 & . 3 & . 4 & .
E Eadd9 E Eadd9 E (opt: add 9's in here for flare)
/ / / / / / / / / / //
C#m7 C#m C#m7 C#m (opt: lift your ring finger off and on for 7ths here)
/ / / / / / / / / ///

/ / / / / / / / / / // middle finger off and on)
E B* E (*B or Eadd9 needed here)

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.
