Having written some out for myself and seeing a request for more Grace Petrie
here, I thought I'd put some up, so other's dont also have to spend time working
them out. Big love yeah. This is basically correct I think, but she adds a few
more changes in e.g. things like a (G C) or something, between the C and Am on the first line.
C G Am F x 2
C Am G C ( G C )
London's burning, London's burning, fetch the engines there's none left,
London's burning, there's no learning here, it's just mindless pointless theft
G F C
And call them home, secretary, call those children home,
Am G F C
the police budget cut a little too close to the bone,
Am G F C
And we will not tolerate behaviour of this violent sort,
G C
it's just not enough to cut one summer holiday short
G F C
I'm none the wiser to what went through people's heads,
Am G F C
as they donned their hoods and visors and tore london town to shreds,
Am G F C
and I'm called a sympathiser cos I have the cheek to ask,
F G
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?
Am G F C (C G Am G) x 2
what makes girls and boys decide to burn their city in a mask?
London's burning, london's burning, call the coppers there's none left,
London's burning, we're not for turning here, it's just thuggery and theft
And call them home......
I'm none the wiser....
and I'm called a sympathiser when I have the cheek to ask...
G C
And I guess britain was broken long before britain was broke,
G C
And I'm told there is no context to a city lane in smoke,
Am G F C
there is no politics to a youth devoid of empathy and hope,
G C
am I only the one getting the joke?
I'm none the wiser....
'citys'...
