Chords
An underrated tune from The Jam, 1979. If you're particular
about this sort of thing, I recommend you listen for the
strumming patterns rather than following the above patterns
to the letter, as they change pretty frequently. Note: Wherever
you see (G) or (A), that's where the bass plays without guitar.
