lyrics and chords of: ´A´-Bomb In Wardour Street by The Jam

          A           E5          A
Where the streets are paved with blood

         A       E5   A
With cataclysmic overtones

         A           E5      A
Fear and hate linger in the air

           A     E5      A
A strictly no-go deadly zone

  B                   E
I don't know what I'm doing here

            A      E5         A
'Cause it's not my scene at all

            A          E5       A
There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street

        E*
They've called in the army

    A               E5      A
I'm stranded on the vortex floor

               A                      E5          A
My head's been kicked in, and blood's started to pour

            A          E5      A
Through the haze I can see my girl

        A               E5             A
Fifteen geezers got her pinned to the door

  B                         E
I try to reach her but fall back to the floor

A           E5       A
'A' bomb in Wardour Street

     E*
It's blown up the West End,

A           E5       A
'A' bomb in Wardour Street

     E*
It's blown up the city,

        A             E5            A
Law and order takes a turn for the worst

       A          E5       A
In the shape of a size 10 boot

         A             E5       A
Rape and murder throughout the land

         A                    E5            A
And they tell you that you're still a free man

   B                        E
If this is freedom, I don't understand

          A          E5          A
'Cause it seems like madness to me

A           E5       A
'A' bomb in Wardour Street

     E          E          E          E
Hate bomb, hate bomb, hate bomb, hate bomb!

E*  F   F#  G   G#    A
A-P-O-C-A-L-Y-P-S-E, apocalypse!
