Written by: Joe Strummer/Mick Jones
From: "London Calling" (1979)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
I usually play this song alone accompanying myself on an acoustic. In order
to include the lead guitar I use a capo 2nd fret as that's much easier to
play (see Intro tab 1). If you don't want to feature the guitar melody at all,
just leave it and play the regular chords throughout.

capo: 2nd fret
play: G
key: A
For chords in orignal key use UG's transpose button and transpose
this chord sheet +2 to A.

G Emadd9 G/B Spanish weeks in my disco casino Am Cm The freedom fighters died upon the hill G Emadd9 G/B They sang the red flag, they wore the black one Am Cm But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill G Emadd9 G/B Back home the buses went up in flashes Am Cm The Irish tomb was drenched in blood G Emadd9 G/B Spanish bombs shatter the hotels Am Cm My señorita's rose was nipped in the bud

[Verse 3]
G Em Bm The hillsides ring with "Free the people" Am Cm Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39? G Em Bm With trenches full of poets, the ragged army Am Cm Fixin' bayonets to fight the other line G Em Bm Spanish bombs rock the province Am Cm I'm hearing music from another time G Em Bm Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava Am Cm I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight
[Chorus]
G Em Bm Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito Em Bm F Yo te acuerda, oh mi corazón. G Em Bm Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito Em Bm F Yo te acuerda, oh mi corazón.
