A#m D#m A#m D#m
B D#m B D#m
A#m D#m A#m D#m
B D#m B D#m
[Verse]
A#m D#m
When they kick at your front door
A#m D#m
How you gonna come?
B D#m
With your hands on your head
B D#m
Or on the trigger of your gun
[Verse]
Em Am
When the law break in
A#m D#m
How you gonna go?
B D#m
Shot down on the pavement
B D#m
Or waiting on death row
[Chorus]
A#m
You can crush us
D#m
You can bruise us
A#m D#m
But you'll have to answer to
B D#m B D#m
Ooh, guns of Brixton
[Verse]
A#m D#m
The money feels good
A#m D#m
And your life you like it well
B D#m
But surely your time will come
B D#m
As in heaven, as in hell
[Interlude]

B D#m B D#m
[Verse]
A#m D#m
You see, he feels like Ivan
A#m D#m
Born under the Brixton sun
B D#m
His game is called survival
B D#m
At the end of the harder they come
[Verse]
A#m D#m
You know it means no mercy
A#m D#m
They caught him with a gun
B D#m
No need for the Black Maria
B D#m
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
[Chorus]
A#m
You can crush us
D#m
You can bruise us
A#m D#m
But you'll have to answer to
B D#m B D#m
Ooh, guns of Brixton
[Interlude]
A#m D#m A#m D#m
B D#m B D#m
[Verse]
A#m D#m
When they kick at your front door
A#m D#m
How you gonna come?

With your hands on your head
B D#m
Or on the trigger of your gun
[Interlude]
A#m D#m A#m D#m
B D#m B D#m
[Chorus]
A#m
You can crush us
D#m A#m
You can bruise us
D#m
And even shoot us
B D#m B D#m
But ooh, the guns of Brixton
[Verse]
A#m D#m
Shot down on the pavement
A#m D#m
Waiting in death row
B D#m
His game was survivin'
B D#m
As in heaven, as in hell
[Chorus]
A#m
You can crush us
D#m
You can bruise us
A#m D#m
But you'll have to answer to
B D#m B D#m
Ooh, guns of Brixton
[Outro]

Ooh, guns of Brixton

Ooh, guns of Brixton
