En 1975 en el Reino Unido no había lugar para otra cosa que no fuera el típico sonido punk. El epicentro local de la acción punk era cualquier club que tuviera características antisociales, como lo era el club conocido como Cart & Horses, ubicado en un agitado suburbio londinense llamado Leytonstone.

Listen to the song for timings, and work out your own strum pattern depending on what style you're playing this. Fairly simple chords, but in places this will be quite hard to follow due to the fact there are a lot of instrumental bits in the song, just play along and try to see what's happening.
* The little C C/B figure doesn't really appear in the song, it's a lead guitar run down an E minor scale on the track, but I like to play it when playing this acoustically as it sounds pretty good. If you want to skip it just keep playing Em for this bit.

EmD There goes the siren that warns of the air raid, EmD Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak. EmD Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne, EmD Got to get up for the coming attack.
AmG Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines, AmG Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste. AmG Gathering speed as we head down the runway, AmG Got to get airborne before it's too late.

EmD Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers, EmD Let off a sharp burst and then turn away. EmD Roll over, spin round to come in behind them, EmD Move to their blindsides and firing again.
AmG Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us, AmG Ten ME-109's out of the sun. AmG Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them, AmG Heading straight for them I press down my guns.
