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 Em 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 Em If you keep this pressure on Just don't be surprised D Bm If I can't summon up My dignity While You're roughing up My pride D D Bm 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 Bm Just a few days later, a man came to My door Em G To ask Me if I thought that D Bm 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
