[Intro]  Riff x2

[Verse 1]
       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

[Pre-Chorus]
C                               G
  And for a while there it was chaos
           C                                  D7
  As they handcuffed and then ruffed up some sailors

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

[Verse 2]
       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

[Pre-Chorus]
C                       G
And the stench was overbearing
C                             D7        (Riff)
But they were past the point of caring

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

[Verse 3]
    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

[Chorus]
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
