VERSE 1:
G F C F G F C F
All across the town, all across the night, everybody's driving with full headlights
G F C F G
Black or white you turn it on, you face the new religion, everybody's sitting 'round watching television
CHORUS:
G F C D G F C D
London's burning with boredom now, London's burning dial nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
G F C D G F C D
London's burning with boredom now, London's burning dial nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
VERSE 2:
G F C F G F C F
I'm up and down the Westway, in and out the lights, what a great traffic system, it's so bright
G F C F G
I can't think of a better way to spend the night than speeding around underneath the yellow lights
CHORUS:
G F C D G F C D
London's burning with boredom now, London's burning dial nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
G F C D G F C D
London's burning with boredom now, London's burning dial nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
VERSE 3:
G F C F G F C F
Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat, this one leads to this block, this one leads to that
G F C F G
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home, I run through the empty stone 'cos I'm all alone
CHORUS:
G F C D G F C D
London's burning with boredom now, London's burning dial nine, nine, nine, nine, nine

London's burning with boredom now, London's burning dial nine, nine, nine, nine, nine
