Gm Dm
In the heat of the summer
F
A
When the pavements were burning
Dm C Dm
The soul of a
city was ravaged in the night
Gm Dm
After the city sun was
sinkin'
Dm Gm Dm
Now no one knows how it started
F
A
why the windows were shattered
Dm C Dm
But
deep in the dark, someone set the spark
Gm Dm
And then it no longer
mattered.
Dm Gm Dm
Down the streets they were rumbling
F
A
All the tempers were ragin
Dm C Dm
Oh, where, oh,
where are the white silver tongues
Gm Dm
Who forgot to listen to
the warnings?
Dm Gm Dm
On and On come the angry
F
A
No longer following reason
Dm C Dm
And all the stores were the
target now
Gm Dm
Where just the other day they were
buyin
Dm Gm Dm
Drunk with the memory of the ghetto
F
A
Drunk with the lure of the looting
Dm C
Dm
And the memory of the uniforms shoving with their sticks
Gm
Dm
