Capo 2

    C majorC   C/BC/B   A minorAm
Pulling 10 til 8's at Renny's
    FF   C majorC  G+G
It was driving Me beserk
    C majorC      C/BC/B   A minorAm
And I'd stopped for twenty Bennies
   DmDm         FF
On My way back home from work

   G+G       E MajorE
When shuffle sent a song My way
 A minorAm       C majorC
I hadn't heard in years
  DmDm          A minorAm
'Complete Control' came pounding out -
  FF         | C majorC | C/BC/B |
And I fought back the tears

  C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
It must have been November
    FF    C majorC    G+G
'Cos Me Dad was still at home
     C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm
When The Clash hit 'Boro Town Hall
     DmDm       FF
With that riot, all their Own

   G+G          E MajorE
We'd spiked Our hair with soap
        A minorAm      C majorC
And We'd sewn zips into Our jeans
 DmDm       A minorAm       FF
Looking back We hadn't much of nothing-
     G+G
But Our dreams


     FF    G+G    C majorC
There was Me and Jack and Johnny
    FF   G+G     C majorC
And a stolen bottle of gin
  FF   G+G    C majorC
We didn't have a penny
A minorAm   DmDm        G+G
But the band, They let Us in

    FF  G+G    C majorC
Took Me 30 years to see it
   FF   G+G | A minorAm | A minorAm |
On a Number 19 bus!
  C majorC      G+G     FF
The Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
    C majorC      G+G     FF
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
     C majorC      G+G     FF
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
    | C majorC ..
That was Us

.. | C majorC | C majorC | G+G |
| C majorC | C majorC | C majorC | G+G ..

     C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm
There was Mick and Paul and Topper
      FF   C majorC    G+G
And in the centre of the stage
     C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm
There was Strummer barking orders
    DmDm      FF
In that mystic kinda rage

   G+G      E MajorE
This was Our Rebel Army
      A minorAm        C majorC
And They'd come to take Our Town
  DmDm       C majorC
We let out all Our anger
    FF          G+G
And We tore the damn place down

     FF    G+G    C majorC
There was Me and Jack and Johnny
    FF   G+G     C majorC
And a stolen bottle of gin
  FF   G+G    C majorC
We didn't have a penny
A minorAm   DmDm        G+G
But the band, They got Us in

    FF  G+G    C majorC
Took Me 30 years to see it
   FF   G+G | A minorAm | A minorAm |
On a Number 19 bus!
  C majorC      G+G     FF
The Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
 G+G   | C majorC | C majorC | G+G | G+G |
That was Us

| C majorC | C majorC | FF | FF |
| C majorC | C majorC | G+G | G+G |

| A minorAm | A minorAm | FF | FF |
| G+G | G+G | G+G | G+G ..

   C majorC    C/BC/B   A minorAm
The band are dead and gone now
  FF     C majorC   G+G
And I thought I was too
   C majorC   C/BC/B   A minorAm
But Strummer woke up something
     DmDm         | FF | FF |
When He shouted: "That means You!"

    G+G        E MajorE
And I jacked my job at Renny's
     A minorAm        C majorC
What I'll do now, I don't know
    DmDm       A minorAm
But I owed it to the young man I was
 FF       G+G
All them years ago

    FF   G+G    C majorC
And the moral of this story
      FF    G+G      C majorC
Is you've one life, don't you blow it
  FF G+G    C majorC     A minorAm
And anyone can change the world
     DmDm        G+G
It's just most of us don't know it

      FF    G+G      C majorC
You either live life, like you mean it
    FF    G+G    A minorAm
Or you rack up more regrets
    FF    C majorC
And I'm 53 next Friday
  FF         G+G
But I aren't finished yet
    FF  G+G    C majorC
Took me 30 years to see it
   FF   G+G | A minorAm | A minorAm |
On a Number 19 bus!

  C majorC      G+G     FF
The Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
    C majorC      G+G     FF
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
     C majorC      G+G     FF
No, the Clash didn't smash the Town Hall
    | C majorC ..
That was Us
