There Will Be A Reckoning

Written by Billy Bragg

	  		


Intro:   Em G  D     
         Em G  D 

(palm mute) 
Em           *            G  
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            
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 
There will be a reckoning 
                  Em      G      D 
There will be a reckoning 
                  Em     
There will be a reckoning
