Written: Joe Strummer
Album: Rock Art and the X-Ray Style
Background: From the debut album released by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros in 1999.
Author: Richard Grosser ([email protected])
Tuning: : Capo on 2nd fret
(Hence all chords are up two semitones, or a tone)
Chords:
C: ======= 332010
F7: ======= 130211
F: ======= 133211
G7: ======= 320001

Notes:
1. All 7th chords are played with the chord oscillating between the 7th and Major form,
the up and down strokes. Hence it's easier with barre chords (not shown in the
as above).
2. Where the chords are shown with triplets in brackets ...it's a quick, forceful(forte)
staccato rhythm.
