#Well, here it is. I looked everywhere for the tabs for this song, and
#have only found the bass tab. So, here's my version. The solo sounds
#good to me, but by all means, let me know if you have a better way of
#playing this song.
#
#Chords:

The chord progression throughout the whole song is this:
(all these chords are strummed 3x) A F#m A D A E
(these are each strummed once) A D A E
The police walked in for Jimmy Jazz
I said, he ain't here, but he sure went past
Oh, you're looking for Jimmy Jazz
Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread
Cut off his ears and chop off his head
Police cam looking for Jimmy Jazz
So if you're gonna take a message 'cross the town
Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side
See it gets to Jimmy Jazz
Don't you bother me, not anymore
I can't take this tale, oh, no more
It's all around, Jimmy Jazz
J-a-zee zee J-a-zed zed
J-a-zed zed Jimmy Jazz
And then it sucks, he said, suck that
So go look all around, you can try your luck, brother
And see what you found
But I guarantee you it ain't your day your day, it ain't
your day.
Chop Chop!
Solo:

There's another riff played after the solo, but it's pretty much the same
type of scale thingy. I hope this makes some sense to you. The Clash rule!
