                Spanish Bombs – The Clash
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

capo: 2nd fret
play: G
key: A

For chords in orignal key use UG's transpose button and transpose 
this chord sheet +2 to A.
