B7
[Verse 1]
Em C A
I walked from my baby's Brixton flat
B7
In to a riot
Em C Am
I thought of maybe turning back
B7
Till things were quiet
Em C A
Till all the buildings to be burned
B7
Had been burned
Em C Am
Till all the cars to overturn
B7
Were overturned
[Verse 2]
Em C
Outside the prison
G B7
They were screentesting for free
Em C
Open auditions
G B7
For closed-circuit TV
Em C G B7
Your baby brother would be there outside the jail
Em C Am B7
Throwing bottles as the police sirens wail
D
And a love song
C
Might not be suitable
G B7
But you look beautiful tonight
[Verse 3]
Em C G B7
Death and disaster only make me love you more
Em C G B7
The morning after the night that went before
Em C
When the brains of Brixton
G B7
With conflicting points of view
Em C
Are outside the Ritzy
G B7
On the local TV news
D
And a love song
C
Might not be suitable
G B7
But you look beautiful tonight
G F
And if you feel the same way as I feel
C B7
Everything will be alright
[Verse 4]
Em C
I was thinking
G B7
Let's forget about the car
Em C
And do some late-night drinking
G B7
In a late-night drinking bar
Em C G B7
It isn't far, well it's my local anyway
Em C
I know the barman
G B7
There's a small vocal PA
[Verse 5]
Em C
Now the insurance man
G B7
Has left you with the news
Em C G
That your third party fire and theft
B7
Would be no use
Em C G B7
And I know a love song isn't suitable or right
Em C Am B7
But you look beautiful, beautiful tonight
G F
And if you feel the same way as I feel
C B7
Everything will be alright

Like a thunderbolt out of the blue

Someone told me it was true

And God created Brixton too
