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...
