    Grace Petrie

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'...
