Chords for The Slits - What's In My Bag?

Put a [D] shot in me [A] pocket, put a bag of whiskey [G] on a [A] chick
Talk to [G] the cashier once, I'll [E] spit
I'm in the Daz, I'm in the [F] Daz
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
Don't have ten [E] clean walls
Hi, hello, we're The Slits
And what's in the bag today?
We got a lot of stuff in the bag, tell us what you got
[C] I've got this amazing film that reminds me of when we first started
The Harder They Come, Jimmy [Ab] Cliff
The Harder _ They _ _ [F] Come, _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ The [F]
Harder They Come
Which goes back [Fm] to the late [Bb] 70s
And this is when reggae was huge [Eb] in England
It was like [Fm] an explosion of [Gb] live reggae artists
[D] I got Paul Westerberg in my bag
_ He is the front man for one of my favourite bands _ The Replacements
[A] Picked up a Donovan record
_ His song [G] structure is very nice
I like the guitar [D] parts that he puts in his songs
And [Gb] his [D] sweet voice
Channel One, which of course [Cm] _ _
[Fm] is like the main dub in the 70s
[G] You have other dub things like
_ Augustus Pablo, King Tubby [C] sound, Lee [Fm] Perry, Joe Gibbs sound
It's not so much about artists as it was about rhythms and sound [Am] Elliot Smith
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ Because he is [Am] just so moving
He's got amazing songs, it's [D] like super duper unique
I have [Abm] Nirvana _ [Eb] unplugged
And I heard that Kurt [Db] Cobain gave me credit in his book
Which I was [Ab] quite shocked about
I still love this album, I never get bored of it
You [Eb] shouldn't be shocked about it
His [Db] girlfriend called herself Hole, get it?
The Hole, [Ab] Hole, Slits, Hole, [Abm] Slits, Hole
I'm a [Eb] singer by the way, I'm Ari Up, I'm Ari [Db] Up Dead Moon
[E] And what I love, love, love [E] about them
Is simply that they never bothered with production or anything
It's probably recorded on 4-track or something
It sounds like really one microphone
But that's what makes it actually better
Because it sounds more authentic and really meant
I think the songs are so good, they could totally be amazing cover songs
But that's not what they want
And that's _ also what would destroy them
So it's just like a really, I don't know, a really honest _ product [G] I guess
I grabbed a Sam Cooke [C] record
Because Sam Cooke was the voice of an angel
[G] Died Too Young, [E] probably a lot more to offer for [G] sure
But _ [E] _ [N] yeah, it's pretty good _ _
It's Quasimodo and this is my effort for modern music
And maybe a little bit hip-hop or whatever it is
And [Bbm] I like this because it again has a huge element of humour in it
Because [E] if I understand it right, this is like a rapping alien or something
With like a high-pitched voice
And it's [Eb] just really funny and really amazing
And that's why I'm picking this one
Like the slits have humour, [C] right?
Yeah, the slits, Ari forces me to say the slits have humour [Abm] too Puppet strings _ _
T.R.B..U. one of the favourites You'd go into people's houses at the time And reggae was blasting all the time This is cultural singing right here And here we have a fantastic picture of James Brown Please Please Me _ Which always makes me [C] laugh That footage of [G] him where he's got some He keeps taking [C] off his cloak Finishing, falling to his [G] knees And they come and drag him back on again [C] He just [G] won't give up _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Here we go, The Soft Machine _ Probably we should mention that I'm a drummer And this is why I love this record Robert Wyatt on the [B] drums And it's a real tragedy He fell out of a window and broke his back So he lost the [Em] ability to play drums With all his four, [B] _ _ _ whatever it's called, limbs _ [Em] _ _ [B] But the first [Gb] record I think is the [Ebm] one Where really the drumming is [A] one of my [C] favourite drumming products ever It's just so good [B] Not because he's technically totally [F] amazing or anything It's probably quite sloppy [B] But just the [G] style of [B] it is absolutely _ [G] really amazing And then of course you had the early [A] evolvements Of [Db] DJing, [Gb] which is tapazookie here [A] Toasting, meaning _ [A] that's emceeing in American [B] terms Like chatting, rapping, early rapping [B] in Jamaican style You could see the [A] big influence it had on [Gbm] Slits _ [A] Because we were very into African things [D] And _ _ [A] natural tribal stuff [G] and indigenous people I threw in an Osh Mutant record _ They play 60s type of Tropicalia music _ _ _ _ _ Very unique, it's very good A lot of the stuff from the Tropicalia _ _ genre [G] It's all really good _ _ _ _ _ We're relating to Rihanna big time, both me and [Am] Tessa Why do you relate to Rihanna actually? Her [E] latest video, [Ab] Russian Roulette [Gbm] Makes me cry every time I see it _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Jamaicans always try to break out She's not from Jamaica [Gbm] But we in Jamaica really relate to her Because she's _ [D] very radical And yet she's still the girl next door From San Francisco, Beer Hoo I'm sort of [G] into 60s music And I'm often like, no, the modern stuff [Bb] I'm not sure, blah blah blah And I just thought, wow, this is actually [Eb] pretty _ Like something new, quite unique And then I went to see them And it absolutely blew me away [C] _ We have to [G] tribute to Sister [Bb] Nancy as well [C] As being [Gm] one of the first I won't say [C] first, but one of the [Gm] first Influential [C] woman [Bb] DJs, toaster Going way [C] back to [G] the great [Bb] blues singer [C] Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, that era [D] Amen to that I don't like the suicidal part of it [G] She had all these There's a soul [Dm] in [E] her _ voice In a lot of music today It's missing [Am] the genuine _ _ [B] feeling [Bb] Coming from [G] your soul It's just become too much of a [Bb] product Well, [F] it depends Mariah Carey is [Gb] not a shallow [C] singer I'm just [Bb] saying the majority [Ebm] The majority of [D] commercial [C] music Maybe because they're [D] not so bothered About guys leaving them [Bb] the way it was back [C] then [C] But now the [Cm] women are more like, oh, [F] fuck it So maybe the [Bb] soul, that kind of soul That we're talking [Bb] about Is kind of coming out of [C] them Mingus, oh yeah, this influenced me Is my mic working still? Hold on, I think my mic's cut off This influenced me a lot _ Because of my hair, right? [G] This was the period when we [Gb] were hooked up [C] With Rip, Ring and Panic [Ebm] [D] And this is another of [Ebm] my favorite records [A] Thank you guys so much Thank you I [Gb] would also like to clap _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
