Artist: The Clash
Song: The Guns of Brixton
Album: London Calling
Bassist: Paul Simonon
Tabbed by: beano311

Sorry for the long tab, but there are too many variations
of the main riff so I had to write it all out. Most of the
other tabs have the main riffs almost correct, but are lacking
the song structure and all the variations.
Only parts I'm not 100% sure of are some of the GGGGGDB parts
towards the middle might be GGGGGAB and vise versa.

r - Rest (play nothing)
W - Whole note
H - Half note
Q - Quarter note
E - Eighth note

Tempo = ~160bpm
