Em * G ( * Walkup to G on 6th string )
Somewhere between the midnight
D Bm
And the cold and empty dawn
Em G
I found myself out walking
D Bm
On the streets where I was born
Em G
And I came upon a stranger
D Bm
Who looked Me in the face
Em G
And asked Me what I was doing
D Bm
In this god forsaken place
(play open)
C/G G
I don't need to be forgiven For something I haven't done
D Em
No forewarning my family To find their place in the sun
C/B G
If you keep this pressure on Just don't be surprised
D Em
If I can't summon up My dignity While You're roughing up My pride
Bm Em
There will be a reckoning
C/G G D
For the peddlers of hate,
Em C/G G D
Who spread their poison all across this estate
Em C/B G D
And a reckoning too, for the politicians who
A C
Left Us to this fate
Em G D
There will be a reckoning
| Em G | D . . . |

Em G D Bm
Just a few days later, a man came to My door
Em G
To ask Me if I thought that

This place was worth fighting for
Em G
And though I recognize his reasons
D Bm
I just could not agree
Em G
When they told me that My neighbor
D Bm
Would be My enemy
(play open)

I don't need to be forgiven For something I haven't done

If I can't summon up my dignity While You're roughing up My pride

There will be a reckoning

Em C/G G D
Who spread their poison all across this estate
