Sham 69 Hersham boys
Hope this makes sense, the - in the intro is a slide, and I have no idea what Jimmy Pursey sings in the
first line of the break 'Dig eye chavvie, it's a may tan slawsha' is what it sounds like to me but if anyone
knows what he actually says I'd love to know.
There is a version of this posted but it is incompleteand the chords and lyrics are not lined up correctly
