Trouble in Town (Song Length 4:39)
From Everyday Life (2019)
Tempo: ~95 | Key Signature: D minor | Tuning: Standard | Time Signature: 4/4 | Capo: No Capo
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 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, and C7
Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
Jikelele, jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
