C# B
It's summertime and the country's on the line The lads are on the streets and the riots doing fine
C# A B
Picking up the pieces after the night Picking up the pieces for another fight
C# B
The bricks beat down in the boys in blue There's no escape, they're coming for you
C# A B
The clubs come down 'round your head It's war on the streets and they're running red!
[CHORUS]
C# C# C# C# C# C# C#slide B C#slideD
Police are running facing defeat
C# C# C# C# C# C# A B
Cities burning in the summer heat REPEAT x2
[SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS]
C# B
The law can't stop the anger of the crowds They're still coming through tear-gas clouds
C# A B
Police are running, facing defeat Tears are falling in the summer heat
[CHORUS]
