Going Underground by The Jam - Guitar Chords
Version 1
Version 3
The Jams 'going underground' from 1980
I have tabbed the riff used in the into and at the start of each verse, you can just play a D chord
but it doesn't sound at all 'right'.The rest should be pretty accurate but, as usual, any comments
are more than welcome
Inrto riff B - ----------------3-2-0
G - 2-2---2-2---4--------
D - 0-0---0-0---0--------
INTRO: D (or riff)
