The Guns of Brixton
by The Clash
From London Calling
[Intro]
F#m Bm F#m Bm G Bm G Bm
[Verse]
When they F#mkick at your front Bmdoor
F#mHow you gonna Bmcome?
With your Ghands on your Bmhead
Or on the Gtrigger of your Bmgun
When the lF#maw break inBm  
F#mHow you gonna Bmgo?
ShGot down on the paveBmment
Or waiGting on death roBmw
[Chorus]
You can F#mcrush us
You can Bmbruise us
But you'll F#mhave to answer Bmto
GOh-Bmthe guns of GBrixtonBm  
[Verse]
The moF#mney feels goodBm  
And your lF#mife you like it welBml
But suGrely your time will Bmcome
As in Gheaven, as in hellBm  
You seF#me, he feels like BmIvan
Born unF#mder the Brixton sunBm  
His gaGme is called survivBmal
At the enGd of the harder they coBmme
You knF#mow it means no Bmmercy
They cauF#mght him with a guBmn
No neeGd for the Black MarBmia
GoodbyGe to the Brixton suBmn
[Chorus]
You can F#mcrush us
You can Bmbruise us
But you'll F#mhave to answer Bmto
GOh-Bmthe guns of GBrixtonBm  
[Bridge]
When they F#mkick at your front Bmdoor
F#mHow you gonna Bmcome?
With your Ghands on your Bmhead
Or on the Gtrigger of your Bmgun
When the lF#maw break inBm  
F#mHow you gonna Bmgo?
ShGot down on the paveBmment
Or waiGting on death roBmw
[Chorus]
You can F#mcrush us
You can Bmbruise us
But you'll F#mhave to answer Bmto
GOh-Bmthe guns of GBrixtonBm
