  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                A   E

  Someone lights a cigarette

  

        A      E    F#m

  While riding in a car

  

  E            A       E

  Some ol' guy takes a swig

  

      A      E        F#m

  And passes back the jar

  

  B                   A    E

  But where they were last night

  

  A      E   F#m

  No-one can remember

  

  C#m          A

  Somebody got murdered

  

       B               E

  Goodbye, for keeps, forever

  

  

  E        C#m       A

  Somebody       got murdered

  

  E         F#m        A

  Somebody's      dead 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?
