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