for some reason i'm having the hardest time figuring out this song... can anyone shed some light on this? i've tried tab sites even, and they're either wrong or shut down due to {censored} copyright laws. thanks anyone.

Great tune! Love it and I am planning on doing a jazzy version of it, as an instrumental peice. The melody is actually good enough for that. I have the chords and the melody in a book, it seems fairly accurate. I think it's still available in shops.

Heres a chord transcription

 

http://www.e-tabs.org/tab/clash/lost_in_the_supermarket

 

I've also got a book which contains a similar transcription but with a few tweaks -

 

notably -

 

some sliding around in the chorus using barre chord shapes. Each line of the chorus starts with E maj 7 on the 4th fret. Then slides down to F#m11/E or open E.

 

Amaj7 is replaced by E/A (Amaj7 will sound somewhat similar tho')

 

play it loose - it ain't bach

I probably have something better to do but

 

here are the voicings and the chord progression for the intro

 

the chords are all played with some open notes

 

however not sure about some of those altered bass note chords so I have put brackets round them and just given the unaltered version

 

 

....Emaj7....F#m11....E......F#m11...........E....
