Clash fix anyone?
Spanish Bombs (Jones/Strummer)
Thanks to Fred for these great chords. This song works really well
when you play them in as open a position as possible. The only tricky
one is the C#m/E, which sounds best fingured as (x-x-2-1-2-0). The regular
C#m is the usual (x-4-6-6-5-4).
Also, here’s the intro, which is repeated during the later verses:

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died up on the hill
They sang the red flag, they wore th black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotel
My senorita’s nose was nipped in the bud
Chorus
The hillsides ring with,»Free the people»
Or can I hear the echoes from the days of ’39?
With trenches full of poets, the ragged armies
Fixin’ bayonets, to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I’m hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I’m flying in on a DC-10 tonight
Chorus :add at end…
A F#m C#m/E F#m C#m/E
