F# 
it's been a long dry season in tinderbox town 
	B 
and the ghetto cars go cruising up and down and round and round 
 A 
with tinted windows and screeching tyres 
 B 
povery likes to ride in the best disguise 
	F# 
the boys get bored, set fire to the sheds at the end of my street 
 B 
the thick black smoke rises up into the doors 
	A 
the sirens scream out across the hill 
	B 
turn into the close and the boys all swagger 
 
	B 
i've got no quarrel with you, brother 
	D 
but the war is getting closer 
 
F#	    B		D	A 
down at the union and there we stood 
F#	B          D	    A 
and embraced like brothers should 
F#	  B		    D	    A 
the fire catches when your back is turned 
F#	    B		  D	A 
and now we watch as the city burns 
F#	    B		  D	A 
and now we watch as the city burns 
 
F# 
we used to joke about the colour of our skins 
B 
we used to joke about the names of god 
A 
but now the racist cops come round 
			   B 
put your cousin up against a wall 
 
little crowd gathers round and takes up sides 
F# 
the white trash come out of their doorways and mutter 
 B 
there's a macho stand-off and sullen faces all around 
 A 
and the middle ground is washing away 
 B 
and no-one really wants it there anyway 
 
 B 
that's the time for pack dogs, brother 
 D 
but the war is getting closer 
 
F#	    B		D	A 
down at the union and there we stood 
F#	B          D	    A 
and embraced like brothers should 
F#	  B		    D	    A 
the fire catches when your back is turned 
F#	    B		  D	A 
and now we watch as the city burns 
F#	    B		  D	A 
and now we watch as the city burns
