Tom: Am
Em Am
When they kick at your front door
Em Am
How you gonna come?
F Am
With your hands on your head
F Am
Or on the trigger of your gun
[Verse 2]
Em Am
When the law break in
Em Am
How you gonna go?
F Am
Shot down on the pavement
F Am
Or waiting in death row
[Chorus]
Em
You can crush us
Am
You can bruise us
Em Am
But you'll have to answer to
F Am F Am
Oh-the guns of Brixton
[Verse 3]
Em Am
The money feels good
Em Am
And your life you like it well
F Am
But surely your time will come
F Am
As in heaven, as in hell
[Solo]
Em Am Em Am F Am F Am
[Verse 4]
Em Am
You see, he feels like Ivan
Em Am
Born under the Brixton sun
F Am
His game is called survival
F Am
At the end of the harder they come
[Verse 5]
Em Am
You know it means no mercy
Em Am
They caught him with a gun
F Am
No need for the Black Maria
F Am
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
[Chorus]
Em
You can crush us
Am
You can bruise us
Em Am
Yes, even shoot us
F Am F Am
But oh-the guns of Brixton
[Verse 6]
Em Am
When the law break in
Em Am
How you gonna go?
F Am
Shot down on the pavement
F Am
Or waiting on death row
[Chorus]
Em
You can crush us
Am
You can bruise us
Em Am
But you'll have to answer to
F Am F Am
Oh-the guns of Brixton
[Verse 7]
Em
You can crush us
Am
You can bruise us
Em Am
Yes, even shoot us
F Am F Am
But oh-the guns of Brixton
[Outro]
F Am F Am
Yes-Oh the guns of Brixton
