I Fought The Law - The Clash

Tabbed by: Matt
Email: mattsnyder@yahoo.com
Tuning: normal
Im 95% sure that this tab is correct, I've watched videos of The Clash and Joe Strummer
The Mescaleros playing it and i've tabbed it the best I could. When I play this song I
to play Joe Strummer's part(Guitar 2) because i think power cords are more fun play.
