1.2.3.4
[Chorus]
B E B
Let's hear it for the sharp and slick
E B A B
Big-hearted guitar man, London Mick
B E B
Come on DJ, play my fix
B E B A B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
[Verse 1]
Ebm Dbm
I first met him in the punk rock days
Ebm Dbm
He was blowing through town in a punk rock blaze
E Ebm Abm
I was a Clash kid under the spell
F#
He bought me Coca-Cola at the band's hotel
F#
Bought me Coca-Cola at the band's hotel
[Chorus]
B E B
He aced Strummer with his killer licks
E B A B
You were my guitar hero, London Mick
B E B
There was no band they couldn't lick
E B A B
Then or now, London Mick
[Verse 2]
Ebm Dbm
Seven wild years came tumbling down
Ebm Dbm
And I was livin' in Mick's old stomping ground
E Ebm Abm
We shared a manager, man, and though it all went south
F#
We saw Spinal Tap together at the picture house
F#
Spinal Tap together at the picture house
[Chorus]
B E B
When he left the Clash he took some stick
E B A B
But he stayed cool, London Mick
B E B
DJs and dreads were his sidekicks
E B A B
Always an edge with London Mick
[Verse 3]
Ebm Dbm
At century's end, under a waning moon
Ebm Dbm
A chance encounter in a greasy spoon
E Ebm Abm
"We see each other, Man" he said, quote, unquote
F#
He was wearin' a well-cut Crombie coat
F#
Wearin' a well-cut Crombie coat
[Chorus]
B E B
Sent him flowers when he got sick
E B A B
More power to London Mick
B E B
What'll he do next? None can predict
E B A B
Just leave it up to London Mick
[Verse 4]
Ebm Dbm
Pop stars pullin' all kinds of tricks
Ebm Dbm
Like so many goose-brained lunatics
E Ebm Abm
If I had my choice I'd just pick
F#
Some rock and roll from London Mick
F#
Some rock and roll from London Mick
[Chorus]
B E B
Let's hear it for the sharp and slick
E B A B
Big-hearted guitar man, London Mick
B E B
Come on DJ, play my fix
E B A B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
E B A B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
E B A B
Some rock and roll by London Mick
