verse 1 
Em           G             D                  A 
They set off on their way into the city from far away 
Em                 G           D                      Em 
to start another working day, from the Brixton Underground 
Em                     G              D                A 
stations packed  half past seven out the front they preach of heaven 
Em              G                D                 Em 
down the stairs run the brethren at the Brixton Underground

They're screaming with their megaphones some clubbers haven’t yet made it home 
Em              G          D                       Em 
Incense seller says hello down at the Brixton Underground 
Em                 G            D                 A 
full price for a travel card  ticket watchers are on their guard 
Em                  G             D                    Em 
stony faces stare straight ahead down at the Brixton Underground 

G                                 D 
I'm just glad I spent some time, down the end of the Victoria line 
     C            D                   Em 
it really was an interesting place to be 
G                                      D 
markets stalls weaved around and the Ritzy fountain kept tumbling down 
          C         D                                Em 
and the beggars      were always wanting change from me

Em                      G                  D                    A 
They're coming home something’s changed  escalators been re arranged 
Em           G              D                       Em 
some people looking pretty disarranged  down at the Brixton Underground 
Em              G               D              A 
Familiar faces atop the stairs give them your ticket no one cares 
Em             G             D                          Em 
help reduce someone else s fare  down at the Brixton Underground 
Em                   G           D                 A 
A sea of faces it’s after four and out the front they preach some more 
Em               G            D                   Em 
reminding us of our sins but is it really sinking in 

G                                 D 
I'm just glad I spent some time, down the end of the Victoria line

it really was an interesting place to be

markets stalls weaved around and the Ritzy fountain kept tumbling down 
          C         D                                Em 
and the beggars      were always wanting change from me

verse 4 
Em                   G                D                  A 
They make their way through the fray buses take them far away 
Em              G           D                      Em 
to end another working day from the Brixton Underground 
Em                        G                 D                           A 
In their minds the day will come they wont make this journey for anyone 
Em                    G                  D                                     Em
