Somebody Got Murdered by Clash
Somebody Got Murdered
Chords: It sounds like there are two guitars and they
mix up the fingering from lower to higher. Here are
the two positions where they alternate.
E C#m A F#m B
-4-0-----4----5-0----5-2---2-------------------------|
-5-0-----5----5-2----7-2---4-------------------------|
-4-1-----6----6-2----6-2---4-------------------------|
-6-2-----6----7-2------4---4-------------------------|
---2-----4----7-0------4---2-------------------------|
---0----------5--------2-----------------------------|
Intro: The song starts with a muffled barred E keeping beat
with the snare. Then, the other guitar comes in with:
repeat
--7---5---4-----------5--4-----7--5--4------|
--5-----------5-------5-----5-----------5---|
--4-------------------4---------------------|
--------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------|
Then they get into heavy chords as follows:
(played in the higher position sounds best)
E C#m A
E F#m A
Verses:
E A E
Someone lights a cigarette
A E F#m
While riding in a car
E A E
Some ol' guy takes a swig
A E F#m
And passes back the jar
B A E
But where they were last night
A E F#m
No-one can remember
C#m A
Somebody got murdered
B E
Goodbye, for keeps, forever
E C#m A
Somebody got murdered
E F#m A
Somebody's dead forever
And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperse
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
/*
Now play the intro riff above these words:
*/
Sounds like murder!
Those shouts!
Are they drunk down below?
It's late, and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?
