Death Or Glory
London Calling (1979)

F/C  C  x 6  Hey

  F  C  G  C  x 2  fin: (reste)

    /C                         G      (F)      (G)
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
    F                            C         G
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
"Love and hate" tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how

  F          C
    Death or glory
    G                  C      x 2  fin: (reste)
  Becomes just another story

And every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church

  Refrain

    (G)  (C)  x 4  w/ riffs + Oh ah ah ah

    G                       C
    Fear in the gun-sights,   they say lie low
    You say ok, don't wanna play the show
    Now all you're thinking, "Was it death or glory now?"
    Playing the blues for pennies sure looks better now

  Death or glory
  Just another story  x 2

From every dingy basement, on every dingy street
Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
It's just the beat of time, the beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years, we already heard your song

  Death or glory
  Becomes just another story
  Death or glory
  Just another story

F/C  C  x 2

      F         C
Gonna march - a long way
Fight - a long time
Got to travel - over mountains
Got to travel - over seas
We're gonna fight - you brother
We're gonna fight - 'til you lose
We're gonna raise - trouble
We're gonna raise - hell
We're gonna fight - you brother
Raise hell

  Death or glory
  Becomes just another story  x 2

  Death or glory
  Just another story
  Death or glory
  Becomes just another story

xxC!
