London Calling


----------------------------------------------------------------------------- London Calling-The Clash ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, this is the actual version of this song, unlike all the other ones by tones deaf idiots, espiecial the solo, which absolutly pathetic in all the other versions i have seen. This is probobly my best tab, but i wanted to get it perfect cos there are no good versions out there, and its a great song! This is the lead part played by Mick Jones, a guitar legend!
