Em D Bm It was in London, D Em D Bm D Where we heard the revolution, From Covent Garden All the way down to Brixton It was in Tottenham Man got shot by a policeman A young girl went to test them Went up against the system Oh, oh, oh, I don't know Chorus: G A Em Who are you G A Em Who are you On the television Of course they blame the youth for disruption 'Cause they took Fortnum & Mason And nothing said about the shooting Just the looting Chorus: It was in London It was in London And it was thunder Caught between love and anger From Trafalgar All the way up to Camden Chorus: Can you believe this is London?
