          Em     D Bm
It was in London,
   D                   Em    D Bm D
Where we heard the revolution,
From Covent Garden
All the way down to Brixton

It was in Tottenham
Man got shot by a policeman
A young girl went to test them
Went up against the system
Oh, oh, oh, I don't know

Chorus:
G A  Em
Who are you
G A  Em
Who are you

On the television
Of course they blame the youth for disruption
'Cause they took Fortnum & Mason
And nothing said about the shooting
Just the looting

Chorus:
It was in London
It was in London

And it was thunder
Caught between love and anger
From Trafalgar
All the way up to Camden

Chorus:
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?
Can you believe this is London?

London town, London town
London town, London town
