JOE STRUMMER – IT’S A ROCKIN’ WORLD

It's not a very well known Strummer song, but I really like it. It is not a 
Mescaleros song as it seems to get said a lot. The guys in this once off 
collaboration actually include Flea and Tom Morello. I'm sure no-one cares but I 
thought I'd throw it out there anyway. The future is unwritten.

Logical, logical, logical 
     A              F#     D          E
Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about 
A               F#     D                  E                 
It's a shockin' world, could be what's so great about it 
A              F#           D             E          A
