The Guns of Brixton
by The Clash
From London Calling
[Intro]
F#m Bm F#m Bm G Bm G Bm
[Verse]
F#m Bm
When they kick at your front door
F#m Bm
How you gonna come?
G Bm
With your hands on your head
G Bm
Or on the trigger of your gun
F#m Bm
When the law break in
F#m Bm
How you gonna go?
G Bm
Shot down on the pavement
G Bm
Or waiting on death row
[Chorus]
F#m
You can crush us
Bm
You can bruise us
F#m Bm
But you'll have to answer to
G Bm G Bm
Oh-the guns of Brixton
[Verse]
F#m Bm
The money feels good
F#m Bm
And your life you like it well
G Bm
But surely your time will come
G Bm
As in heaven, as in hell
F#m Bm
You see, he feels like Ivan
F#m Bm
Born under the Brixton sun
G Bm
His game is called survival
G Bm
At the end of the harder they come
F#m Bm
You know it means no mercy
F#m Bm
They caught him with a gun
G Bm
No need for the Black Maria
G Bm
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
[Chorus]
F#m
You can crush us
Bm
You can bruise us
F#m Bm
But you'll have to answer to
G Bm G Bm
Oh-the guns of Brixton
