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