Somebody Got Murdered
The Clash
Album: Sandinista
Lyrics c/o uwp
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 E F#m
E A E
A E F#m
B A E
A E F#m
C#m A
Somebody got...
B E
E C#m A
Somebody...
E F#m A
And you're minding...
Somebody got...
Somebody got...
/*
Now play the intro riff above these words:
*/
Sounds like murder...
It's late...
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CLASH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
