Brute, Force & Ignorance
Rory Gallagher
Photo-Finish (1978)
Standard Tuning
One downstroke for each chord
*Intro*
G G
Brute Force and Ignorance,
D D Dsus4
Just hit town,
D D
Looking like survivors,
G G
From the Lost and Found.
G G
Brute Force and Ignorance,
D D Dsus4
Have come to play,
D D
A one-night stand at eight o`clock,
G G
Then they`ll be on their way.
G G
This old town`s exploding,
D Dsus4
And the mayor`s uptight,
D D
He`d like to make it to the show,
G G
But he knows it`s not his night.
G G
He`s got to be beholding,
D D Dsus4
To his legal spouse,
D D
But she`s put the thumbscrews on him,
G G
And snuck out of the house.
There she goes.
(solo)
Am Am Am Am
The picture on the poster,
G G Am Am
Raised an eyebrow or two,
Am Am Am
At fifty-five to seven,
G G C
Lord, you should`ve seen the queue.

Am Am Am Am
City slick and country hick,
G G Am
They came one and all,
Am Am Am Am
The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids,
G G C
Assembled in the hall.
G G
Brute Force and Ignorance,
D D Dsus4
Yes, thats the name
D D
Young folks gonna miss 'em
G G
Now they gone away
G G
Well, the show got so crazy,
D D Dsus4
Today they took the billboard down,
D D
I`ll never forget the scene last night,
G G
When the band was escorted out of town.
G G
This little town`s back in slow motion,
D D Dsus4
I`m sad to say,
D D
After the confusion,
G G
It`ll never be the same.
G G
Well, I took a walk down Main Street,
D D Dsus4
Just to pass the time,
D D
And I could hear that music,
G G
Still rolling through my mind.
G G
Brute Force and Ignorance,
D D Dsus4
They sure hit town,
D D
And if you want to find them, buddy,
G G
They`re down at the Lost and Found.
