Burnin' Streets Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros
Intro F
The sirens' ris[F]in'
There's a distant blue[Bb]s dance on a crowded street
The temperature's a-risi[F]n'
[Bb]Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
Those burnin' stree[F]ts, come on
The century that's hardly on its feet[Bb]
And the late news breaks early[F]
Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?[Bb]
[F]An' it takes every day to be survivin' in[Eb] the city[Bb] [F]
[F]London is burnin'; don't tell the Queen
Some[Bb]body tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green
[F]Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat
[Bb]Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
Those burnin' stre[F]ets, come on
And you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled[Bb]
And the late news breaks early[F]
So how should life be lived around the world? (I[Bb]f London is bu[Ab]rnin')
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
[Bb]Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on! [F]
Yeah, ah-come on ([Bb]Lond[Ab]on is burnin') [F]
Yeah, ah-come on ([Bb]Lond[Ab]on is burnin')[F]
[F] (Soon you're gonna be runninā?? down)
(Soon you're gonna be runninā?? down)
Those burnin' streets[F], come on!
Does the universal cop have a beat?[Bb]
And the late news breaks early[F]
Did you ever buy that bar on Lucky Street?[Bb]
[F]An' it takes every day to be survivin' [Eb]in the city
[Bb]Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on![F]
Yeah, ah-come on (L[Bb]ond[Ab]on is burnin')[F]
Yeah, ah-come on (L[Bb]ond[Ab]on is burnin')[F]
[F]Too many guns in this damn town[Bb]
At the supermarket, you gotta duck down
[F]Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round (Londo[Bb]n is [Ab]burnin')
[F]There's too many guns in this damn town (Londo[Bb]n is [Ab]burnin')
[F]Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round (Londo[Bb]n is [Ab]burnin')
[F]Too many guns in this damn town (L[Bb]ondon i[Ab]s burnin')
[F]Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round (Londo[Bb]n is [Ab]burnin')
