[Verse 1]
Eb5               Cm             Am                    Dm
Spring light in a hazy May and a man with a gun at the door

Eb5                       Cm                  Am                 Dm
Someone's crawling on the roof above, all the media here for the show

Ab        Bb              Cm
I've been waiting for our friends to come

     Ab           Bb            Cm
Like spiders down ropes to free-fall

  Ab           Bb         Cm
A thirty round clip for a visiting card

      Ab         Bb      C/G
Admit one to the embassy ball
[Chorus 1]
Gm                         C5           Dm
Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue

Gm                    Bb5 C5     Eb5    F5
In go the windows and out go the lights

Gm                C5           Dm
Call me a doctor, fetch me a policeman

    Gm                       Bb5  C5         G F
I'm down on the floor in one hell of a fight
[Verse 2]
Eb5                     Cm               Am                     Dm
I'm just a soul with an innocent face, a regular boy dressed in blue

   Eb5                 Cm              Am                     Dm
Conducting myself in a proper way as befitting the job that I do

Ab             Bb           Cm
They came down on me like a ton of bricks

Ab           Bb             Cm
Swept off my feet, knocked about

Ab              Bb            Cm
There's nothing for it but to sit and wait

        Ab          Bb         C/G
For the hard men to get me out
[Chorus 2]
Gm                         C5           Dm
Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue

Gm                    Bb5 C5     Eb5    F5
In go the windows and out go the lights

Gm                C5           Dm
Call me a doctor, fetch me a policeman

    Gm                               Bb5 C5
I'm down on the floor in one hell of a   fight

[Verse 3]
Eb5                         Cm                   Am                          Dm
Calm reason floats from the street below and the slow fuse burns through the night

Eb5                 Cm                       Am                         Dm
Everyone's tried to talk it through but they can't seem to get the deal right

Ab                  Bb             Cm
Somewhere there are Brownings in a two-hand hold

Ab                 Bb         Cm
Cocked and locked, one up the spout

Ab              Bb            Cm
There's nothing for it but to sit and wait

        Ab          Bb         C/G
For the hard men to get me out
[Chorus 3]
Gm                         C5           Dm
Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue

Gm                    Bb5 C5     Eb5    F5
In go the windows and out go the lights

Gm                C5           Dm
Call me a doctor, fetch me a policeman

    Gm                               Bb5 C5
I'm down on the floor in one hell of a   fight
