"Too Hot" - The Specials
I doubt that if anyone wanted to figure this one out they wouldn't be able to -- but a
contribution can't hurt. This is played in standard ska style -- all chords are barred
in the "E" shape and the top 3 strings are plucked on all upstrokes.
Intro:    G   C   D(x4)
GToo Hot
This town is too hotD  
Now they're callin' for their guns
About to spoil the rude boys funs
But rude boys never give up their guns
It's too hotG  
No man, can tell them what to doD  
Pound for pound
They say, they're ruder than youG  
They are boss, and no back downD  
You might have a couple you like
Choose your burial site
Take insurance, make up your will
Come out and tGell them
Fight them
Solo:G   D        G
The soldiers came back to you, without themD  
The police force are afraid
They can't even touch themG  
They say "You think you're bad? Why don't you come out yourself?"D  
These boys are calling for a fight, fighting tonight they don't lie
It's too hotG  
Too hot, too hot
Too hot, too hotD  
Too hot, too hot
Too hot, too hotG  
(etc..., speed up)

Too Hot

This town is too hot

Now they're callin' for their guns
