The Jam – Bricks And Mortar (Guitar)

A          G         F               C     F
Bricks and mortar, reflecting social change

A             G                E
Cracks in the pavement, reveal cravings for success

D                         A
Why do we try to hide our past

   E                             A
By pulling down houses and build car parks

D                          A
Windows and mirrors like a two-way glass

Bm                        D                 E
This is progress, nothing stands in its path

A      G               F                  C   F
Yellow bulldozers, the donkey jackets and J.C.B.'s

      A            G        E
While hundreds are homeless they're constructing a parking space

D                   A
Why do they have to knock them down

    E                                    A
And leave the site dormant for months on end?

D                         A
Who has the right to make that choice?

  Bm                       D          E
A man whose house has cost forty grand

A          G       A          G
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar

A          G     A            G       A
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar

N.C.           A
Knock 'em down!
