Guitar chords with lyrics

I Fought the Law
The Clash version
(as best as I can figure it out)

Intro:

Tab:    ----------------------------------------------------------

        ----------------------------------------------------------

        ----------------------------------------------------------
        ----------------------------------------------------------
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
                                      triplets

That repeats twice, then:

D        D      G D
Breakin' rocks...
D D G D
D D G D
D D G D

  G
I left my baby...
D
G

D                   G D
I fought the law...
D                       A G F#m D

Solo:

--------------------------------14-
------------------------12--15-----
----------11--11/12--14------------
----12/14--------------------------
-14--------------------------------
-----------------------------------

This repeats four times, then back to the intro riff.  If this
doesn't sound right let me know.  Also, there is a second guitar
that sounds like its running a counter melody, so if anyone can
figure that out, please post.
