Spanish Bombs – The Clash
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Joe Strummer/Mick Jones
From: "London Calling" (1979)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
I usually play this song alone accompanying myself on an acoustic. In order
to include the lead guitar I use a capo 2nd fret as that's much easier to
play (see Intro tab 1). If you don't want to feature the guitar melody at all,
just leave it and play the regular chords throughout.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
capo: 2nd fret
play: G
key: A
For chords in orignal key use UG's transpose button and transpose
this chord sheet +2 to A.
