The Clash – Stay Free (Guitar)

G       C               Bm     Am
We met when we were in school

G              C               Bm           Am
Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools

    Am                  G           G          Em
The teacher says we're dumb, we're only having fun

            Em             C    Am
You know we pissed on everyone

         G    C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
In the classroom

     G                    C                 Bm    Am
When we got thrown out I left without much fuss

     G                C             Bm             Am
And weekends we'd go dancing down Streatham on the bus

     Am             G      G             Em
You always made me laugh, got me in bad fights

 Em               C     Am
Play me pool all night,

          G    C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
Smoking menthols

G            C           Bm    Am
I practised daily in my room

G                   C          Bm          Am
You were down The Crown planning your next move

   Am             G     G            Em
Go on a nicking spree, hit the wrong guy

Em                C     Am
Each of you get three

           G    C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
Years in Brixton

G         C            Bm     Am
I did my very best to write

G                 C                   Bm     Am
How was Butlins? Were the screws too tight?

 Am               G           G           Em
When you lot get out, we're gonna hit the town

       Em              C     Am
We'll burn it fucking down

       G   C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
To a cinder

     Bm                    Em
Cos years have passed and things have changed

       C                  D
And I move anyway I wanna go

          Bm               Em
And I'll never forget the feeling I got

         C                   G
When I heard that you'd got home

          Bm               Em
And I'll never forget the smile on my face

        C                   D
'cos I knew where you would be

    Bm                Em
And if you're in The Crown tonight

Have a drink on me
