London Mick Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][Bm][Em][D][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
Let's hear it for [G]the sharp
and slick
big [C]hearted [G]guitar man, London Mick
Come on DJ [C]play my [G]fix
some rock and roll [F]by London [G]Mick

[Verse 2]
[Bm]I first met him in the p[Am]unk rock days
he was [Bm]blowing through
town in [Am]a punk rock blaze
[C]I was a Clash kid un [Bm]der the spell[Em]
he [Dm]bought me coca- cola
at the band's hotel

[Verse 3]
[G]He aced Strummer with his kil[C]ler lic[G]ks
You [C]were my guitar [G]hero,
Lon[F]don [G]Mick
There was no band they [C]couldn't lick
[G]the[C]n o[G]r now, London Mi[F]ck[G]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]seven wild years came [Am]tum bling down
and I was [Bm]livin' in Mick's
old stomp[Am]ing ground
we shared a [C]manager, man,
and though [Bm]it all went south
[Em]we saw Spina[Dm]l Tap together
at the picture house

[Verse 5]
[G]When he left the Clash he [C]took some sti[G]ck
[C]but he [G]stayed cool, London Mick
DJs and dreads were [C]his sidekicks[G]
always an edge [F]with London [G]Mick

[Verse 6]
[Bm]at century's end,
under a [Am]waning moon
[Bm]a chance encounter in
[Am]a greasy spoon
[C]""we see each other, Man"" he said,
[Bm]quote, unquote
[Em]he was weari[Dm]n a well- cut Crombie

[Interlude 1]
coat
[G][D][Dm][F][G][Dm][F][G]

[Verse 7]
Sent him flowers when [C]he got [G]sick[C][G]
More power [F]to London [G]Mick
What'll he do next? None [C]can [G]predict
[C]Just lea[G]ve it up to Lon[F]don Mic[G]k

[Verse 8]
[Bm]Pop stars pullin' all kind[Am]s of tricks
like [Bm]so many goose- brained luna[Am]tics
if [C]I had my choice I'd
[Bm]just [Em]pick[Dm]

[Outro 1]
some rock and roll from London [G]Mick
[C][G][C][G][F][G][C][G]
[C][G][F][G][G][F][G]
