 GUNS OF BRIXTON

 

The Clash

 

 

Chords repeated throughout:

[F#m][Bm][F#m][Bm][G][Bm][G][Bm]

  

When they kick at your front door

How you gonna come?

With your hands on your head

Or on the trigger of your gun

 

When the law break in

How you gonna go?

Shot down on the pavement

Or waiting on death row

 

You can crush us

You can bruise us

    But you'll have to answer to

Oh, the guns of Brixton

 

The money feels good

And your life you like it well

But surely your time will come

As in heaven, as in hell

 

You see, he feels like Ivan

Born under the Brixton sun

His game is called survival

At the end of the harder they come

 

You know it means no mercy

They caught him with a gun

No need for the Black Maria

Goodbye to the Brixton sun

 

You can crush us

You can bruise us

Yes, even shoot us

But oh-the guns of Brixton
