Author Note: This song is a fantastic song it reminds me of the Rush of Blood to the Head Era with the

buildup and release, really amazing.

It is really powerful I feel it speaks a lot about screwed up legal systems and racism involved

around the world.

Once I have the time I'll tab the whole thing out however this is the simple version.

Also, the Gdim is an optional chord in the bridge. It acts as a transitional chord. Sounds good but optional

And imo the brige sounds the best when you triple pick the bottom 3 and 4 strings only for the Gm, Gdim and C7

Enjoy!

Dm Dm/G Dm/A x4

Trouble in town

Because they cut my brother down

Because my sister can't wear her crown

There's trouble, there's trouble in town

Blood on the beat (Oh-oh)

Oh my goodness, there's blood on the beat

Law of the jungle or the law of the street

There's blood on, there's blood on the beat

And I get no shelter

And I get no peace

And I never get release

Trouble in town (Oh-oh)

Because they hung my brother Brown

Because their system just keep you down

There's trouble, there's trouble in town

And I get no shelter

And I get no peace

And I just get more police

Eh,

And I get no comfort

And I get no name

Everything is gettin' strained

Best friends

What's that?

What's his name?

X (Standby, sir)

Alright, is that X your middle name?

Of course, it's on a vehicle ID, right?

You gettin' smart? 'Cause you'll be in a fucking car with him

Fucking smartass

I'm telling you

I'm asking you what the X is, is that your middle name?

Of course, what is it?

Don't come back with the "What is it?" fucking shit

Talk to these fucking pigs on the street that way, you ain't talking to me that way

I don't talk to nobody in the streets, I don't hang with nobody

Well, then don't come to fucking Philadelphia, stay in Jersey

I have family out here

Everybody thinks they're a fucking lawyer and they don't know jackshit

Are you supposed to grab me like this?

Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I got to

You're not protecting me while I'm trying, while I'm trying to go to work

Why don't you shut up?
