[Intro]
E Ebm Abm F# 1.2.3.4
[Chorus]
B E B Let's hear it for the sharp and slick E B A B Big-hearted guitar man, London Mick B E B Come on DJ, play my fix B E B A B Some rock and roll by London Mick
[Verse 1]
Ebm Dbm I first met him in the punk rock days Ebm Dbm He was blowing through town in a punk rock blaze E Ebm Abm I was a Clash kid under the spell F# He bought me Coca-Cola at the band's hotel F# Bought me Coca-Cola at the band's hotel
[Chorus]
B E B He aced Strummer with his killer licks E B A B You were my guitar hero, London Mick B E B There was no band they couldn't lick E B A B Then or now, London Mick
[Verse 2]
Ebm Dbm Seven wild years came tumbling down Ebm Dbm And I was livin' in Mick's old stomping ground E Ebm Abm We shared a manager, man, and though it all went south F# We saw Spinal Tap together at the picture house F# Spinal Tap together at the picture house
[Chorus]
B E B When he left the Clash he took some stick E B A B But he stayed cool, London Mick B E B DJs and dreads were his sidekicks E B A B Always an edge with London Mick
[Verse 3]
Ebm Dbm At century's end, under a waning moon Ebm Dbm A chance encounter in a greasy spoon E Ebm Abm "We see each other, Man" he said, quote, unquote F# He was wearin' a well-cut Crombie coat F# Wearin' a well-cut Crombie coat
[Chorus]
B E B Sent him flowers when he got sick E B A B More power to London Mick B E B What'll he do next? None can predict E B A B Just leave it up to London Mick
[Verse 4]
Ebm Dbm Pop stars pullin' all kinds of tricks Ebm Dbm Like so many goose-brained lunatics E Ebm Abm If I had my choice I'd just pick F# Some rock and roll from London Mick F# Some rock and roll from London Mick
[Chorus]
B E B Let's hear it for the sharp and slick E B A B Big-hearted guitar man, London Mick B E B Come on DJ, play my fix E B A B Some rock and roll by London Mick E B A B Some rock and roll by London Mick E B A B Some rock and roll by London Mick
