capo – 3
intro – | Em G | D |
| Em G | D . . . |
( palm mute )
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 . . . |
( palm mute )
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
( 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
