Well, the chords were easy enough to figure out, but there's this half-spoken part between the second and third verses to which I can't make head or tail of the lyrics. Anyone have them? I've put the chord changes in the chorus on the beat, but they're actually slightly off. If you listen to the song it should be easy enough to figure out where they go. Not being British, I've substituted "boy" for "yob" in verse 2. Ben
DEATH OR GLORY The Clash
INTRO (quiet/acoustic): D A G D D A G D (then loud/electric): G D A D G D A D
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love and hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
CHORUS: Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Now every gimmick-hungry boy digging gold from rock-n-roll Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold But I believe in this and it's been tested by research He who fucks nuns will later join the church
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I think the chords are just D A G D, but does anyone have the lyrics?
CHORUS
In every dingy basement on every dingy street Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat It's just the beat of time, the beat that must go on If you've been trying for years, we already heard your song
CHORUS
D A G D (throughout) BRIDGE: We're gonna march a long way, we're gonna travel a long time We're gonna travel over mountains, we're gonna travel over seas We're gonna fight you brother, we're gonna fight 'til you lose We're gonna raise trouble, we're gonna raise hell We're gonna fight you brother, we're gonna raise hell
