And God Created Brixton

Em  C  A  B7
Em  C  Am
B7

Em               C             A
I walked from my baby's Brixton flat
        B7
In to a riot
Em            C             Am
I thought of maybe turning back
                 B7
Till things were quiet
     Em       C               A
Till all the buildings to be burned
         B7
Had been burned
     Em       C           Am
Till all the cars to overturn
          B7
Were overturned

Em          C
Outside the prison
           G                B7
They were screentesting for free
Em        C
Open auditions
     G              B7
For closed-circuit TV
Em        C                G                 B7
Your baby brother would be there outside the jail
Em        C             Am             B7
Throwing bottles as the police sirens wail
D
And a love song
C
Might not be suitable
G                        B7
But you look beautiful tonight

Em         C             G               B7
Death and disaster only make me love you more
Em           C         G               B7
The morning after the night that went before
Em                 C
When the brains of Brixton
      G                     B7
With conflicting points of view
Em              C
Are outside the Ritzy
        G        B7
On the local TV news
D
And a love song
C
Might not be suitable
G                        B7
But you look beautiful tonight
G                    F
And if you feel the same way as I feel
C                   B7
Everything will be alright

Em     C
I was thinking
G                      B7
Let's forget about the car
Em           C
And do some late-night drinking
      G                  B7
In a late-night drinking bar
Em        C                G         B7
It isn't far, well it's my local anyway
Em        C
I know the barman
                G     B7
There's a small vocal PA

Em      C
Now the insurance man
     G                B7
Has left you with the news
Em              C               G
That your third party fire and theft
            B7
Would be no use
Em            C               G           B7
And I know a love song isn't suitable or right
Em            C          Am           B7
But you look beautiful, beautiful tonight
G                    F
And if you feel the same way as I feel
C                  B7
Everything will be alright

E

        E
Like a thunderbolt out of the blue
D
Someone told me it was true
G
God created me and you
     B7
And God created Brixton too
E
Hallelujah! Praise the lord
D
Tonight you can rest assured
     G
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
B7
Tonight will love you more than most
E
Tonight!
