Having written some out for myself and seeing a request for more Grace Petrie 
here, I thought I'd put some up, so other's dont also have to spend time working 
them out. Big love yeah. This is basically correct I think, but she adds a few 
more changes in e.g. things like a (G C) or something, between the C and Am on the first line.
 C   G   Am   Fx 2
					     C  	    Am  	         G     C(  G   C)
London's burning, London's burning, fetch the engines there's none left,
London's burning, there's no learning here, it's just mindless pointless theft
GAnd call them hFome, Csecretary, call those children home, 
Amthe police Gbudget cut a Flittle toCo close to the bone,
AmAnd we wiGll Fnot toleratCe behaviour of this violent sort, 
Git's just not enouCgh to cut one summer holiday short
GI'm noFne the wiser Cto what went through people's heads, 
aAms they donned Gtheir hoFods aCnd visors and tore london town to shreds,
aAmnd I'm calleGd a FsyCmpathiser cos I have the cheek to ask,
what maFkes girls Gand boys decide to burn their city in a mask?
	       		   Am  		     G  	     F  	C( C   G   Am  G) x 2
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?
London's burning, london's burning, call the coppers there's none left,
London's burning, we're not for turning here, it's just thuggery and theft
And call them home......
I'm none the wiser....
and I'm called a sympathiser when I have the cheek to ask...
And I guGess britaiCn was broken long before britain was broke,
AnGd I'm told Cthere is no context to a city lane in smoke,
there Amis no politiGcs to a yoFuth Cdevoid of empathy and hope,
aGm I only Cthe one getting the joke?
I'm none the wiser....
