Hey Charles,

Just wondering the last line of the refrains - should they finish with....[A] law [D] won [G][F#m][D]? I've put it that way in the your version that I reformatted for printing purposes. If that's not correct - let me know and I'll change it :)

Where there are just chords, you don't sing "the law won", you just play that run "dum dum dum dum." Where you do sing, it's just the A and the D. In other words, it's correct as above. Mind you, the version I know I got from a Clash record so maybe the Bobby Fuller Four do it differently. But the Clash version sounds pretty cool--even on a uke.
