Chords for The Clash - The Last Gang In Town (2013)

[F#] _ [C#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Why did little Ian become a punk?
Fifteen years old, you're watching your parents struggle to [G#] make money,
who turn on a telly and there's [E] riots in the street
and all the government could do is say,
go over there, sit [C#] down, [Bm] shut up.
[A] So [B] out of the whole punk movement, [E] lots of groups come about,
like the Pistols and the Clash [F] and Ian Rubbish and the Bizarros.
The Clash, you know, they write a lot [G] about politics
and we try [Gm] to do the same.
What we did with the [Am] Clash is, they would say something political,
[G] we would say something like, we agree with the Clash, or what they said.
_ Electric Lady Studios, New York City, where the Clash recorded.
We're going to talk to them and about them and maybe play a bit of music,
who knows, that's what punk's all about, isn't it?
[B] Not planning [C] nothing.
I can't believe it, looking at you.
You look all right, I do, yeah.
Yeah, all right.
I can't believe it, looking at Mick neither.
And I can't believe it, looking at you.
So was it like the four of you had the same mind about it?
Was there any resistance at all?
The four of us together, we created more energy
than the four of us individually, you know, so that was_
Joe said, or maybe he did, [E] he said,
a band is only as good as its drummer.
I said something similar.
What did you say?
A band is only as good as its drummer and the other guys as well,
but as long as the guitar player's good too,
that's a good thing.
It's a bit longer, yeah, but I said it a lot, constantly.
It's all I said, really.
I remember this one, A Clash, the first record.
At the time, it was a style to sort of pose in an alley.
Ian Rubbish done it, we tried to look for [A] a place, found it.
Spent a lot of time getting it just right on the album cover,
but [E] we'd spent so much time doing that,
when we put it out, we forgot to record the music.
_ I remember White Riot.
We had a song called White Riot As Well.
_ White riot, I want to write, white riot, I write as well.
_ It's a bit like it.
London [F#] Calling, what a [C#m] classic, incredible record.
When [G] it came out, we thought they'd changed [A] their name to Love A Clash.
A bit French.
I [E] said to me mates, I said, oh, yeah, do you like their album?
Undone, like being undone, [Bm] and then like [E] all in, like punk.
Gee, [G#m] to think about it.
Really nice, good double record, yeah.
Two for the price of one, it was.
We did the same thing, though, we did four records,
and we put money in the record.
_ _ Have you got any left?
No, nothing, we're still in debt to the company.
There is actually a lost Clash record that no-one's ever heard before.
The problem was, is they printed up loads of them,
and we was all ready to go out and tour it,
but the record company, they forgot to put a hole in the middle of the record.
Well, we had a record, yeah, that was just the hole.
Just the hole?
But the rim was there, you know, the very outside of it was there,
so you put your needle on.
Just be wobbling around.
Yeah, right, [D] just one thing. _
[Bm] Sandinista, [D] when this come out, we put one out [Bm] called Acapulco.
[D] They had a lot of, you know, dub songs and [Em] stuff,
so I thought to be experimental, we'd have [F#m] a lot of spoken word,
stand-up comedy.
Oh, you put a nail over there?
What did you put a nail over there for?
I've seen it before.
Why, binoculars?
What are you talking about?
Binoculars?
You're the binocular.
You don't get it, because you're not from there.
I love your songs.
Well done.
You get my approval, that's a big deal there, isn't it?
Right, I don't approve of them much.
I always say, I don't like it.
Right to camera.
Where's the other ones?
I don't like it.
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] We all [B] influence each [E] other.
When I hear The Clash, yeah, I can [A] hear Ian Rubbish in their [B] music.
[E] In a way, they did a sort of past tense [A] [B] copying of us.
When we started, I thought maybe we influenced you.
I would say it was a shared influence, you know what I mean?
It's like an influence for everybody.
I love it.
Thanks a lot.
People have argued with me a lot.
Well, now it's_
Now you've spoken it, so_
[E] It's about the police.
And my boot [A] goes in your face.
One, two, three_ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ Hey, police [G] man.
My boot [D] goes in your face.
[A] Hey, police man.
[G] My boot [D] goes in your face.
[A] _ Hey, police man.
[G] My boot [D] goes in your face.
[A] Hey, police man.
