AN' WHO GOT CAUGHT OUT ON THEIR UNAWARES?
WHEN THAT NEW PARTY ARMY CAME MARCHING RIGHT
	UP THE STAIRS
WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME AGAIN 
NOBODY UNDERSTANDS IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN
THE SUN IS SHINING AN' THE KIDS ARE SHOUTING LOUD 
BUT YOU GOTTA KNOW IT’S SHINING THROUGH A CRACK
	IN THE CLOUD
AND THE SHADOWS KEEP FALLING WHEN JOHNNY
	COMES MARCHING HOME

They discovered on Black Saturday,
That mobs don't march, they run (they run)
So you you can excuse the nervous triggerman,
for this once jumping the gun.
They were picking up the dead,
Out of the broken glass,
Yes, it's number one, hit radio says
"Groovy times are here at last."

[Second version of solo]
Play this on acoustic. Just listen to the song to sus out the
tempo of the solo. It's pretty fun to play.
There's a bit enclosed within stars (**-7--9--7--**) that I'm not
too sure about. If anyone can suggest a more acurate riff that
would be good.

The intake is on the uptake,
the acceleration's pretty grim.
I can remember his first appearance,
now look what's happened to him.
They put him in a dog suit,
like nineteen sixy four.

"Groovy times forever more."

Groo-oo-vy times,
Groo-oo-vy times.

Guns Of Brixton 
Tom: F#m
Intro: F#m Bm  F#m Bm  G Bm  G Bm
          F#m                Bm  
When they kick at your front door
F#m           Bm  
How you gonna come?
          G             Bm  
With your hands on your head
          G               Bm
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row
CHORUS
        F#m 
You can crush us
        Bm
You can bruise us
           F#m            Bm
But you'll have to answer to
G  Bm          G      Bm
Oh-the guns of Brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survival
At the end of the harder they come
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

A system built by the sweat of the many  
Creates assassins to kill off the few  
Take any place and call it a court house  
This is a place where no judge can stand

Unlock the key of of the legal papers  
A jury of a billion faces  
Shouted out condemned out of hand

Guns guns, or foolin' around  
Guns guns, the violence is singing  
Guns guns, a silence the sound

          A                 C#m        
I've been beat up I've been thrown out 
              F#m            B
but I'm not down  oh, I'm not down
              A               C#m
I've been shown up but I've grown up and 
         F#m              B 
I'm not down oh I'm not down
B/A  B/G#  B/F#  D  D/C#  E
Verse II
On  My own I faced a gang of jeering
In strange streets oh
When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in
I did not run, I was not done
Chorus
Bridge
E      A                 C#m
Yes I lived that kind of day
     Em7                   D
when none of your sorrows will go away
              
go down and down and hit the floor,
D/C#
down and down and down somemore
B
Depression
A                           C#m                 Em7
But I know, there'll be someway when I can swing everything 
D                                      
back my way Like skyscrapers rising up 
D/C#                            B   E
floor by floor, not giving up
Verse III
So you walk around and
think that you're the toughest
In the world, the whole wide world
But You're streets away from where it gets the roughest
You ain't been there.

Jail Guitar Doors
Tom :E
E                                       B
Let me tell you 'bout Wayne and his deals of cocaine
  A
A little more every day
        E                     G#m
Holding for a friend till the band do well
           B                   E
Then the D.E.A. locked him away
E                   A           E
Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors
E                 A            E
Bang bang, go the boots on the floor
E                 A               E
Cry cry, for your lonely mother's son
E                   A7
Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors
An' I'll tell you 'bout Pete, didn't want no fame
Gave all his money away
"Well there's something wrong, it'll be good for you, son"
And so they certified him insane
And then there's Keith, waiting for trial
Twenty-five thousand bail
If he goes down you won't hear his sound
But his friends carry on anyway
Fuck 'em!
A           E    B  (PLUS C A E ON LAST TIME)
Jail guitar doors
54/46 was my number
Jail guitar doors
Right now someone else has that number

Intro: A D/A  A D/A  A D/A  A D/A  A
     A
IT'S LUCY IN THE SKY AND ALL KINDS OF APPLE PIE
SHE GIGGLES AT THE SCREEN 'COS IT LOOKS SO GREEN
        D
THERE'S CARPETS ON THE PAVEMENT
	                  A
AND FEATHERS IN HER EYE
    E                        Bm                 D
BUT SOONER OR LATER, HER NEW FRIENDS WILL REALISE
     A
THAT JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD  
  
WELL IT SEEMED LIKE A DREAM, TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE   
STASH IT IN THE BANK WHILE THE TABLETS GROW HIGH   
IN THEIR MILLIONS  
  
AND EVERYBODY'S HIGH (HI, MAN...)  
BUT THERE'S SOMEONE LOOKING DOWN  
FROM THAT MOUNTAINSIDE  
'COS JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD

AND IT'S TEN YEARS FOR YOU   
A
NINETEEN FOR YOU

 EVER RAID  
THEY ARRESTED EVERY DRUG THAT HAD EVER BEEN

THROUGH EIGHTY-TWO DOORS  
AND THEY DIDN'T HALT THE PULL  
TILL THE CELLS WERE ALL FULL  
'COS JULIE WAS WORKING FOB THE DRUG SQUAD  
  
THEY PUT HIM IN A CELL, THEY SAID YOU WAIT HERE  
YOU'VE GOT THE TIME TO COUNT ALL OF YOUR HAIR  
YOU'VE GOT FIFTEEN YEARS  
A MIGHTY LONG TIME  
YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A PHYSICIST  
BUT NOW YOUR NAME IS ON THE MAILBAG LIST  
JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD  
  
GUMBO!
Junco Partner
Tom: F
NC       F 
Down the road came a Junco Partner
           Bb             F
For he was loaded  as can be
F
He was knocked out, knocked out loaded
         C7                    F
He was a'wobblin' all over the street
F          
Singing 6 months ain't no sentence
    Bb                F
And one year ain't no time
F
I was born in Angola
        C7    F
Serving 14 to 99
Well I wish I had me  $1 million dollars
Oh one million to call my own
I would raise meat and say, "grow for me baby"
I would raise me a tobacco farm
Well I wish I would have me a great deal of money
Yeah and mighty good things all over town
Now I ain't got no more money
All of my good friends are putting me down
Now I ain't got no more money
I'm gonna pawn my watch and chain
I would have pawned my seat Gabriella
But the smart girl wouldn't sign her name
....
Give me headstone when I die

 

Kingston Advice 
Tom: G

 

G             Cm6
In these days you can get no rice  
G               Cm6
No razor blades but you can get knife  
G             Cm6
In these days see the people run  
G                 Cm6
They have no food but the boy have gun  
G             Cm6
In these days they don't throw the stone  
G                 Cm6
Nor use the voice they use the gun alone  
G             Cm6
In these days to be an oddity  
G              Cm6
Be hunted down like a scarcity  
A             G/A   Dm/A
In these days don't beg for life  
A          G/A  Dm/A 
Wanna take Kingston advice?  
A         G/A   Dm/A         C   G
Oh please don't beg for your life  
  
In these days the beat is militant  
Must be a clash there's no alternative  
In these days nations are militant  
We have slavery under government  
In these days in the firmament  
I look for signs that are permanent  
  
In these days with no love to give  
The world will turn with no one left to live  
  
In these days I don't know what to do  
The more I see the more I'm destitute  
In these days I don't know what to sing  
The more I know the less my tune can swing  
  
In these days you can get no rice  
No razor blades but you can get knife  
In these days see the people run  
They have no food but the boy have gun
