hello this song is great for new or old time clash fans if you play this song with 
barre chords it is great, but you could use open chords if your a singer

The intro is two chords open-E7  x2   E7sus4  x2 play it 4 times.

E               F#
friday or saturday what does that mean

a short space of time needs a heavy scene

C               D
monday coming like a jail on wheels 

G         D          B   A
48 hours needs a 48

G         D          B   A

48 hours needs a 48 

G         D         E   E  (stay on E for two counts)

48 hours needs a 48 thrills
