[Intro] Riff x2
[Verse 1]
G C
On the day that Dennis Brown’s lung collapsed
D G (Riff)
Spring rain was misting down on Kingston
G
And down at the harbor
C D G (Riff)
Local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
And for a while there it was chaos
C D7
As they handcuffed and then ruffed up some sailors
[Chorus]
G C D G (Riff)
On the day my lung collapses, it’s not gonna be that different
[Verse 2]
G C
On the day that Dennis Brown's habits caught up with him
D G (Riff)
Schoolchildren sang in choirs
G C
And out behind the Chinese restaurants
D G (Riff)
Guys were jumping into dumpsters
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
And the stench was overbearing
C D7 (Riff)
But they were past the point of caring
[Chorus]
G C D G (Riff)
On the day my lung collapses, I'll be down among the jumpers
[Bridge/Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G C
And when the birds come home in spring
D G (Riff)
We will fill them full of buckshot
G C
And jets of contaminated blood
D G (Riff)
will cloud the rivers and the lakes
[Chorus]
C G
It took all the coke in town
C D7
To bring down Dennis Brown
G C D G (Riff)
On the day my lung collapses, well see just how much it takes
