Eb Gm Eb Gm
[Verse 1]
         Dm                  Gm
When they kick out your front door
Dm           Gm
How you gonna come?
         Eb            Gm
With your hands on your head
         Eb              Gm
Or on the trigger of your gun
Dm                 Gm
When the law breaks in
Dm           Gm
How you gonna go?
Eb              Gm
Shot down on the pavement
  Eb               Gm
Or waiting on death row
[Chorus]
       Dm                Gm
You can crush us, you can bruise us
          Dm             Gm
But you'll have to answer to
Eb  Gm              Eb  Gm
Ooooooh, guns of Brixton
[Verse 2]
   Dm          Gm
The money seems good
        Dm               Gm
And your life you like it well
   Eb                    Gm
But surely your time will come
     Eb              Gm
As in heaven or as in hell

You know he feels like Ivan
    Dm                Gm
Born under the Brixton sun 
   Eb                 Gm
His game is called survivin'
      Eb                     Gm
At the end of the harder they come
   Dm               Gm
You know it means no mercy
    Dm                Gm
They caught him with a gun
  Eb                   Gm
No need for the Black Maria
   Eb                 Gm
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
[Chorus]
