Brute, Force & Ignorance
Rory Gallagher
Photo-Finish (1978)
Standard Tuning
One downstroke for each chord
Intro
[G]Brute Force and I[G]gnorance,
[D]Just hit town,[D][Dsus4]
[D]Looking like [D]survivors,
[G]From the Lost and [G]Found.
[G]Brute Force and I[G]gnorance,
Have co[D]me to play,[D][Dsus4]
A o[D]ne-night stand at e[D]ight o`clock,
Then t[G]hey`ll be on their[G] way.
[G]This old town`s [G]exploding,
And the ma[D]yor`s uptight,[Dsus4]
He`d l[D]ike to make it to the s[D]how,
But he k[G]nows it`s not his ni[G]ght.
He`s [G]got to be beho[G]lding,
[D]To his legal sp[D]ouse,[Dsus4]
But she`s p[D]ut the thumbscrews [D]on him,
And sn[G]uck out of the h[G]ouse.
There she goes.
(solo)
The pi[Am]cture o[Am]n the p[Am]oster,[Am]
Raised an ey[G]ebrow [G]or tw[Am]o,[Am]
At fi[Am]fty-f[Am]ive to sev[Am]en,
Lord, you sho[G]uld`ve s[G]een the qu[C]eue.
[Am]City s[Am]lick and c[Am]ountry [Am]hick,
They c[G]ame o[G]ne and [Am]all,
The tr[Am]affic-light g[Am]irl and the do[Am]wnhome k[Am]ids,
[G]Assembled [G]in the h[C]all.
[G]Brute Force and I[G]gnorance,
Yes, th[D]ats the nam[D]e[Dsus4]
[D]Young folks gonna m[D]iss 'em
[G]Now they gone aw[G]ay
Well, the sh[G]ow got so cr[G]azy,
Today they t[D]ook the billboard do[D]wn,[Dsus4]
I`ll never fo[D]rget the s[D]cene last night,
When the band was esc[G]orted out of t[G]own.
This li[G]ttle town`s back in slow [G]motion,
I`m s[D]ad to say,[D][Dsus4]
[D]After the conf[D]usion,
It`ll ne[G]ver be the s[G]ame.
Well, I t[G]ook a walk down M[G]ain Street,
[D]Just to pass the time,[D][Dsus4]
[D]And I could hear that m[D]usic,
Still r[G]olling through my m[G]ind.
[G]Brute Force and Ignor[G]ance,
[D]They sure hit town,[D][Dsus4]
And i[D]f you want to f[D]ind them, buddy,
They`re down [G]at the Lost and Fo[G]und.
