Burnin Streets chords by Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

Chords with lyrics

Intro FF

        FF
The sirens' risin'
           A#A#
There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street
            FF
The temperature's a-risin'
A#A#
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down

          FF
Those burnin' streets, come on
                     A#A#
The century that's hardly on its feet
                   FF
And the late news breaks early
                            A#A#
Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?
FF
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city

FF
London is burnin'; don't tell the Queen
  A#A#
Somebody tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green
FF
Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat
A#A#
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down

         FF
Those burnin' streets, come on
                           A#A#
And you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled
                    FF
And the late news breaks early
                          G#G#
So how should life be lived around the world?  (If London is burnin')

An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
FF
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
          FF
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
          FF
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')

FF
 (Soon you're gonna be runnin’ down)

 (Soon you're gonna be runnin’ down)
           FF
Those burnin' streets, come on!
                    A#A#
Does the universal cop have a beat?
                    FF
And the late news breaks early
                       A#A#
Did you ever buy that bar on Lucky Street?

D#D#
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
FF
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
          FF
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
          FF
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')


A#A#
Too many guns in this damn town

At the supermarket, you gotta duck down
G#G#
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round  (London is burnin')
G#G#
There's too many guns in this damn town  (London is burnin')
G#G#
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round  (London is burnin')
G#G#
Too many guns in this damn town    (London is burnin')
G#G#
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round  (London is burnin')
