Billy Ray Cyrus - The Reckoning

[Intro]
F Bbsus2 C
F Bbsus2 C C

[Verse 1]
F Bbsus2 C
Well the fiery five points came from Queen of Babylon
F Bbsus2 C
Rotten rapture and lines of lives that came undone
F Bbsus2 C
And how cool wind blew their dreams away like paper cups
F Bbsus2 C
Now they’re bound and bearing the shadows of the gun
F Bbsus2 C
Let’s sing

[Verse 2]
F Bbsus2 C
And the stranded señoritas fall and take a knee
F Bbsus2 C
For the anthem, believe a dark and rising drum
F Bbsus2 C
While the cholos in their Chevrolets and mercy streets
F Bbsus2 C
And the shiny wall for the bankers and the Bronx
F Bbsus2 C
Then they line the halls of the prison it becomes

[Chorus]
F Bbsus2 C
But maybe we will be free
F Bbsus2 C
When the battle lines meet
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe they will be one
F Bbsus2 C
When the counting is done
F Bbsus2 C
Yeah, maybe they will be free when the reckoning comes

[Instrumental]
F Bbsus2 C
F Bbsus2 C

[Verse 3]
F Bbsus2 C
So the choir boys hide their voices, bruised and out of tune
F Bbsus2 C
While the priestess of the harbor rides a wave
F Bbsus2 C
And the bar girls drown their choices in their silver spoons
F Bbsus2 C
With a junkman’s nightmare crashing in their veins
F Bbsus2 C
And the rich ride silver horses to their waiting ships
F Bbsus2 C
While the poor cry out for justice and cocaine
F Bbsus2 C
And they all bow down to the new crown of the apocalypse
F Bbsus2 C
As he stabs the truth and slides out onto the stage
F Bbsus2 C
Then as the footlocks melt the grease paint from his face
F Bbsus2 C
It’s very hard to tell the master from his slaves

[Chorus]
F Bbsus2 C
But maybe we will be free
F Bbsus2 C
When the battle lines meet
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe they will be one
F Bbsus2 C
When the counting is done
F Bbsus2 C F Bbsus2 C
Yeah, maybe they will be free when the reckoning comes

[Post-Chorus]
F Bbsus2 C
When the reckoning comes (Reckoning, when the reckoning comes)
F Bbsus2 C
When the reckoning comes (Reckoning, when the reckoning comes)
F Bbsus2 C
When the reckoning comes (Reckoning, when the reckoning comes)

[Chorus]
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe we will be free
F Bbsus2 C
When the battle lines meet
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe they will be one
F Bbsus2 C
When the counting is done
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe they will see peace
F Bbsus2 C
When the hearts are released
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe we’ll reach true sun
F Bbsus2 C
When the gauntlet is run
F Bbsus2 C
Maybe they will be free
F Bbsus2 C
When the reckoning comes

[Outro]
F Bbsus2 C F Bbsus2 C
When the reckoning comes
F Bbsus2 C F Bbsus2 C
When the reckoning comes
F Bbsus2 C
