Written by The Clash

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.

Chords:

The chord progression throughout the whole song is this:

(all these chords are strummed 3x) A F#m A D A E

(these are each strummed once) A D A E

The police walked in for Jimmy Jazz

I said, he ain't here, but he sure went past

Oh, you're looking for Jimmy Jazz

Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread

Cut off his ears and chop off his head

Police cam looking for Jimmy Jazz

So if you're gonna take a message 'cross the town

Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side

See it gets to Jimmy Jazz

Don't you bother me, not anymore

I can't take this tale, oh, no more

It's all around, Jimmy Jazz

J-a-zee zee J-a-zed zed

J-a-zed zed Jimmy Jazz

And then it sucks, he said, suck that

So go look all around, you can try your luck, brother

And see what you found

But I guarantee you it ain't your day your day, it ain't

your day.

Chop Chop!

Solo:

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!
