                Spanish Bombs – The Clash
E|E|E|E|E|E|----------------------

Written by: Joe Strummer/Mick Jones
From: "London Calling" (1979)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

I usually play this song alone 
accompanying myself on an acoustic. 
In order
to include the lead guitar I use a 
capo 2nd fret as that's much easier 
to
play (see Intro tab 1). For those 
who do not like using capos, I added
 a
second tab below. If you don't want 
feature the guitar melody at all, 
just
leave it and play the regular chords
 throughout.
