Em                 Am
When they kick at your front door
Em           Am
How you gonna come?
          F             Am
With your hands on your head
          F               Am
Or on the trigger of your gun

[Verse 2]
Em                 Am
When the law break in
Em            Am
How you gonna go?
F                Am
Shot down on the pavement
F                   Am
Or waiting in death row

[Chorus]
        Em
You can crush us
        Am
You can bruise us
           Em            Am
But you'll have to answer to
F  Am          F      Am
Oh-the guns of Brixton

[Verse 3]
    Em          Am
The money feels good
    Em                 Am
And your life you like it well
    F           Am
But surely your time will come
    F           Am
As in heaven, as in hell

[Solo]
Em Am  Em Am  F Am  F Am

[Verse 4]
Em                     Am
You see, he feels like Ivan
Em                     Am
Born under the Brixton sun
F                      Am
His game is called survival
F                  Am
At the end of the harder they come

[Verse 5]
Em                   Am
You know it means no mercy
Em                     Am
They caught him with a gun
F                      Am
No need for the Black Maria
F                      Am
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

[Chorus]
        Em
You can crush us
        Am
You can bruise us
     Em         Am
Yes, even shoot us
    F   Am         F    Am
But oh-the guns of Brixton

[Verse 6]
Em                 Am
When the law break in
Em            Am
How you gonna go?
F                Am
Shot down on the pavement
F                   Am
Or waiting on death row

[Chorus]
        Em
You can crush us
        Am
You can bruise us
           Em            Am
But you'll have to answer to
F  Am          F      Am
Oh-the guns of Brixton

[Verse 7]
Em
You can crush us
    Am
You can bruise us
Em              Am
Yes, even shoot us
F   Am             F       Am
But oh-the guns of Brixton

[Outro]
F  Am              F       Am
Yes-Oh the guns of Brixton
