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