Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Where the streets  are paved  with blood
 With cataclysmic overtones
 Fear and hate  linger in  the air
 A strictly no-go  deadly  zone
 I don't  know what I'm doing  here
 'Cause it's not  my scene  at all
 There's an 'A'  bomb in Wardour  Street
 They've called  in the army, they've called in the police
 I'm stranded  on the vortex  floor
 My head's been kicked  and blood's started  to pour
 Through the haze  I can see  my girl
 15 geezers  got her pinned  to the door
 I try  to reach her but fall  back to the floor
 There's an 'A'  bomb in Wardour  street
 It's blown  up the West End, now it's spreading through the city
 'A'  bomb in Wardour  street
 It's blown  up the city, now it's spreading through the country
 Law and order  takes a turn  for the worst
 In the shape  of a size  10 boot
 Rape and murder  throughout  the land
 And they tell  me that you're still  a free man
 Well if this  is freedom, I don't understand
 'Cause it seems  like madness  to me
 'A'  bomb in Wardour  street
 Hate  bomb, hate bomb, hate bomb
 A Phillistine nation
 Of degredation
 And hate and war
 There must be more
 It's Doctor Martins
 
 Apocalypse!
