_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
London is burning, don't tell the [G] Queen Somebody charged [F] the speed garage and they
burned down [Eb] Bethnal Green Because it is shining [C] like a reggae beat
[G] Soon you're gonna be running down [E] those burning [F] streets [C] now
[Eb] The century that's widely [G] unseen _ [Eb] Will it use [Bb] bricks or [F] lead?
_ _ [Eb] There's a sunrise on the west and a [G] palm leaf
_ _ [Bb] It's long and it's wide [D] and it hurts every day to be [G] surviving in the city
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The sirens _ rising from [C] the east [G] There's a distant blues dance on a crowded [Eb] street
[F] The temperatures are rising, can you feel the heat?
[G] Soon you're gonna be [Eb] running down [F] those burning streets [C] now
[Eb] The waiting [F] for your flag to [G] be _ unfurled [Eb] Will it use [Bb] bricks or [F] lead?
_ [C] _ _ [Eb] How's your [F] life be lived [G] around the world?
_ [Bb] It's long and it's wide [D] and it hurts every day to [G] be surviving in the city
[Bb] Ready to face the cold with no pity, [F] come on
[C] _ [Eb] Yeah, _ [F] come [G] on
_ [Eb] It's long [Bb] and it's wide [F] and
_ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Eb] It's long [Bb] and it's wide and
Can I get a witness with a smokeless heat?
There's a love triangle on a [Am] two-way street
[Bb] London is burning and underneath your feet
Soon you're gonna be running [C] down those [F] burning streets, [Cm] come on
[Eb] Does the [F] universe apart [G] have a beat?
_ [Eb] Will it use [Bb] bricks or [F] lead?
_ _ [Eb] Did you ever [F] buy that bottle [G] of tea sweet?
It's [Bb] long and it's wide [D] and it hurts every day to [G] be surviving in the city
[Bb] _ Ready to face the cold with no pity, [F] come on
[C] _ [Eb] Yeah, _ [F] _
[G] come on
_ _ [Eb] It's long [Bb] and it's [F] wide and
_ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Eb] It's long [Bb] and it's [F] wide and
Soon [C] we're gonna [Eb] be left [F] hand down
[G] The _ [Eb] supermarkets gotta [Bb] duck down
[F] Billions of black jackets [Eb] on the merry [F]-go [G]-round
_ _ _ [Eb] It's long [Bb] and it's wide [F] and
Too many guns in this town [Bb] town _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Baby black jackets on the merry-go-round
[Bb] _ _ It's long [Eb] and it's [F] wide and
Too many guns in this town town
[C] _ _ _ _ It's long and it's [F] wide and
Baby black jackets on the merry-go-round
_ _ _ It's long and it's wide and _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
