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

But surely your time will come

As in heaven or as in hell

Verse 3:

   Dm                 Gm
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:

       Dm                Gm
You can crush us, you can bruise us
