F#5
it's been a long dry season in tinderbox town
B5
and the ghetto cars go cruising up and down and round and round
A5
with tinted windows and screeching tyres
B5
povery likes to ride in the best disguise
F#5
the boys get bored, set fire to the sheds at the end of my street
B5
the thick black smoke rises up into the doors
A5
the sirens scream out across the hill
B5
turn into the close and the boys all swagger
B5
i've got no quarrel with you, brother
D5
but the war is getting closer
F#5 B5 D5 A5
down at the union and there we stood
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and embraced like brothers should
F#5 B5 D5 A5
the fire catches when your back is turned
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and now we watch as the city burns
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and now we watch as the city burns
F#5
we used to joke about the colour of our skins
B5
we used to joke about the names of god
A5
but now the racist cops come round
B5
put your cousin up against a wall
little crowd gathers round and takes up sides
F#5
the white trash come out of their doorways and mutter
B5
there's a macho stand-off and sullen faces all around
A5
and the middle ground is washing away
B5
and no-one really wants it there anyway
B5
that's the time for pack dogs, brother
D5
but the war is getting closer
F#5 B5 D5 A5
down at the union and there we stood
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and embraced like brothers should
F#5 B5 D5 A5
the fire catches when your back is turned
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and now we watch as the city burns
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and now we watch as the city burns
B5 D5 B5 F#5
F#5 B5 D5 A5
down at the union and there we stood
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and embraced like brothers should
F#5 B5 D5 A5
down at the union and there we stood
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and embraced like brothers should
F#5 B5 D5 A5
the fire catches when your back is turned
F#5 B5 D5 A5
the fire catches when your back is turned
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and now we watch as the city burns
F#5 B5 D5 A5
and now we watch as the city burns
F#5
and now we watch as the city burns (3x)
Solo:
F#5 A5 D5
F#5 A5 D5

A5
and i believe you
D5 F#5
you want so much, but you give nothing of your self
