This 
            repeats four times, then back to the intro riff. If this
doesn't 
            sound right let me know. Also, there is a second guitar
that 
            sounds like its running a counter melody, so if anyone can
figure 
            that out, please post.

I am also willing to post some other 
            Clash songs by request to
anyone willing to make similar posts 
            themselves. I have a Clash
songbook with the following songs 
            (just the chords):

Off of album The Clash:
o I'm So Bored 
            with the U.S.A.
o White Man in Hammersmith Palais
o Career 
            Opportunities

Off of album Give 'Em Enough Rope:
o Guns on 
            the Roof
o Safe European Home

Off of album London 
            Calling:
o Hateful
o I'm Not Down
o London Calling
o 
            Lover's Rock
o Spanish Bombs
o Train in Vain

Off of 
            album Sandinista!:
o Charlie Don't Surf
o Corner Soul
o 
            Hitsville U.K.
o Ivan Meets G.I.Joe
o Kingston Advice
o The 
            Magnificent Seven
o One More Time
o Rebel Waltz
o Somebody 
            Got Murdered
o Something About England
o Up In Heaven (Not 
            Only Here)
o Version City
o Washington Bullets

Off of 
            Combat Rock:
o Straight to Hell
o Should I Stay or Should I 
            Go
o Rock the Casbah

...although I won't be particularly 
            eager to post those last two
songs. Make me an offer, though. I'm 
            still looking for many
of the earlier Clash songs, as well as 
            anything by the Jam, Stiff
Little Fingers, Aztec Camera, 
            ......
