LOST IN THE SUPERMARKET (Clash)
Chords suggestions: (Std Tuning)
Eadd9 = 024100 (pinky the 4)
Amaj7 = x02120 (pre-anchor the 1 behind A's to make it easy)
Intro:
|E | (w/ Eadd9's)
|C#m7 | (w/ C#m's)
|A | (w/ Amaj7's)
Chorus: (chords same as Intro)
I'm all lost in the supermarket.
I can no longer shop happily.
I came in here for the special offer,
a guar-an-teed per-so-nal-i-ty.
Verse 1 & 2:
(between |'s is 1 measure, 2nd and 3rd switches are on counts 3 and 4)
I wasn't born so much as I fell out.
Nobody seemed to notice me.
We had a hedge back home in the suburb,
over which I never could see.
I heard the people who live on the ceiling
scream and fight most scarily.
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling!
That's how it's been all around me.
(CHORUS) (x1)
Verse 3 & 4:
I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs.
I save coupons from packets of tea.
I've got my giant hit discotheque album!
I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free.
The kids in halls and the pipes in the walls
make me noises for company.
Long distance callers make long distance calls!
And the silence makes me lonely.
(CHORUS) (x1)
Outro (w/ chorus progression):
|A(maj7) |
Then..
No, it's not
here. It disap-
|A(maj7) |
-peared.
Then.. (repeat this part to fade)
I'm all lost.. I'm all
lost. (I'm all lost) I'm all
|A(maj7) |
lost. (I'm all lost)
*END*
Intro/Chorus Details w/ Strumming Timing:
They are just a little repetitive and get spiced up a bit. I wouldn't take it too
seriously as this is mostly a very simple song.
(Basics...)
|1 & . 2 & . 3 & . 4 & . |
(In detail...)
|1 & . 2 & . 3 & . 4 & . |
|E Eadd9 E Eadd9 E | (opt: add 9's in here for flare)
|C#m7 C#m C#m7 C#m | (opt: lift your ring finger off and on for 7ths here)
|A Amaj7 A Amaj7 | (opt: finger open A with 7th on C note and pull
/ / / / / / / / / / // middle finger off and on)
|E B* E | (*B or Eadd9 needed here)
I was surprise there wasn't a decent tab in this site for this song. Hopefully, this is one.
If not, let me have it - you Clash fans seem pretty picky/nasty.
