x============================================================================= THE CLASH - ARMAGIDEON TIME (Willie Williams cover) Tabbed by Wes T. ([email protected]) 1/13/2005 ============================================================================= If you want to get the right tone for this song, use reverb, compression, and chorus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE: For the reggae-style "chucking" sound, mute the strings with the fingering shown below. X X X e|-7--7----9----| G|-7--7----9----| B|-7--7----9----| D|-9--9----10---| A|-9--9----10---| E|--------------| Just before Joe starts singing, this is usually played: e|-----| G|-----| B|-----| D|-7/9-| A|-----| E|-----| The bass also plays this next part, which is divided into two sections. The first is only played a couple times in the song and is followed by the other, which is played throughout most of the non-chorus parts. It's all done in palm mutes. e|---------------------------|-----------------------------| G|---------------------------|-----------------------------| B|---------------------------|-----------------------------| D|-9---9---9-9---------------|-9---9---9-9-----------------| A|-------------9-9---9---9---|-------------9-9-9---9---9---| E|---------------------------|-----------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORUS: The chorus riff is just Bm and A chords. The muted part is also done later in the song: X X X e|-7---7---5---5---7-7---7---5---5---| G|-7---7---5---5---7-7---7---5---5---| B|-7---7---6---6---7-7---7---6---6---| D|-9---9---7---7---9-9---9---7---7---| A|-9---9---7---7---9-9---9---7---7---| E|-----------------------------------| This is played over top: e|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9---------9-11-9----9----------------12-11-9-11-9----9----7/9-| A|---9-11-12-------------9-11-12--12-----------------12----------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| This is a modified version of the above riff played repeatedly near the end of the song: e|------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9--------------------9----------------12-11-9-11-9----9----| A|---9-11-12-11-9---------9-11-12--12-----------------12------| E|----------------10------------------------------------------| And that's it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
