|E                                     |
 I'm all lost in the supermarket.

|C#m7                                  |
 I can no longer shop happily.

|A                                     |
 I came in here for the special offer,

|E                     B     E         |
 a guar-an-teed per-so-nal-i-ty.
Verse 1 & 2: (between |'s is 1 measure, 2nd and 3rd switches are on counts 3 and 4)
|E                B         C#m        |
 I wasn't born so much as I fell out.

|A                B      E             |
 Nobody seemed to notice me.

|C#m                 B           A     |
 We had a hedge back home in the suburb,

|Amaj7        B           E            |
 over which I never could see.

E                      B           C#m
I heard the people who live on the ceiling

A                     B    E
scream and fight most scarily.

C#m                       B          A
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling!

Amaj7                B          E
That's how it's been all around me.
[CHORUS] (x1) Verse 3 & 4:
E                   B           C#m
I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs.

A                   B          E
I save coupons from packets of tea.

C#m                   B           A
I've got my giant hit discotheque album!

Amaj7               B          E
I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free.

E                         B            C#m
The kids in halls and the pipes in the walls

A                  B    E
make me noises for company.

C#m                        B             A
Long distance callers make long distance calls!

Amaj7                 B      E
And the silence makes me lonely.

|C#m7                         |

|E                            |
 I'm all lost..        I'm all

|C#m7                         |
 lost. (I'm all lost)  I'm all

|A(maj7)                      |
 lost. (I'm all lost)
|E B E | *END* 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 & . |

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. -C.Hall
