       G                                C
On the day that Dennis Brown’s lung collapsed

                 D               G          (Riff)
Spring rain was misting down on Kingston

         G
And down at the harbor

      C               D                  G        (Riff)
Local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment

C                               G
  And for a while there it was chaos

           C                                  D7
  As they handcuffed and then ruffed up some sailors

G                             C      D                 G          (Riff)
  On the day my lung collapses, it’s not gonna be that different

       G                        C
On the day that Dennis Brown's habits caught up with him

        D               G       (Riff)
Schoolchildren sang in choirs

    G                      C          
And out behind the Chinese restaurants 

          D            G       (Riff)
Guys were jumping into dumpsters

C                       G
And the stench was overbearing

C                             D7        (Riff)
But they were past the point of caring

G                             C      D                 G          (Riff)
  On the day my lung collapses, I'll be down among the jumpers

    G                           C
And when the birds come home in spring

        D                G         (Riff)
We will fill them full of buckshot

     G                  C
And jets of contaminated blood

     D                        G     (Riff)
will cloud the rivers and the lakes

C                       G
It took all the coke in town

   C                 D7
To bring down Dennis Brown

G                             C      D                 G          (Riff)
  On the day my lung collapses, well see just how much it takes
