I Fought The Law by The Clash - Guitar Chords

<< Back to The Clash Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5

            This cover of the crickets 'I fought the law' by the clash seems to confuse people, here is my best effort.
Bar chords, (power chords for the A G F# D bit), probably work best. I think it sounds pretty much spot on,
