I know the bridge part is not quite right, but it's pretty close.
If you fix it, please let me know.

Intro: Riff x2
On the [G]day that Dennis Brown?s lung coll[C]apsed
D G (Riff)
Spring rain was misting down on Kingston.
And down [G]at the harbor
C D G (Riff)
Local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment.
[C] And for a while there it was c[G]haos
As they h[C]andcuffed and then ruffed up some s[D]ailors.
G C D G (Riff)
On the day my lung collapses, it?s not gonna be that different.
On the day that Dennis Brown?s habits caught up with him
School children sang in choirs.
And out behind the Chinese restaurants
Guys were jumping into dumpsters.
And the stench was overbearing
But they were past the point of caring.
On the day my habits catch up with me, I?ll be down among the jumpers.

And when the birds come home in spring
We will fill them full of buckshot.
And jets of contaminated blood
Will cloud the rivers and the lakes.
It took all the coke in town
To bring down Dennis Brown.
On the day my lung collapses, we?ll see just how much it takes.
