Verse 2:
F
In the wee midnight hour,
Am Bbmaj7
I was parking my car, in this dimly lit town.
F
I was at-tacked by two thugs,
Am Bbmaj7
Who took me for a mug and shoved me down on the ground.
F
And they pulled out a knife,
Am Bbmaj7
And I fought my way up as they scarpered from the scene.
F
Well, this is no New York street,
Am Bbmaj7
And there's no Bobby on the beat and things ain't just what they seem.

Who would think this could happen,
Am Bbmaj7
In a city like this, among Blake's green and pleasant hills?
F
And we must remember,
Am Bbmaj7
As we go through September, among these dark satanic mills.
F
If there's such a thing as justice,
Am Bbmaj7
I could take them out and flog them, in the nearest green field.
F
And it might be a lesson,
Am Bbmaj7
To the bleeders of the system, in this whole society.
