Redemption Day
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:6th fret
standard tuning
[Verse 1]
Em
I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
A Em
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
A Em
If God be willing
[Refrain]
G
There is a train that's heading straight
Em C G
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
Em C A
And woman wait, watch and wait
Em
For redemption day
[Verse 2]
Em
Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
A Em
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
A Em
And we aren't listening
[Refrain]
G
There is a train that's heading straight
Em C G
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
Em C A
And woman wait, watch and wait
Em
For redemption day
[Verse 3]
A G C
What do you have for us today
A G Em
Throw us a bone but save the plate
A G C
On why we waited till so late
C A
Was there no oil to excavate
C
No riches in trade for the fate
A
Of every person who died in hate
Em
Throw us a bone, you men of great
[Refrain]
G
There is a train that's heading straight
Em C G
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
Em C A
And woman wait, watch and wait
Em
For redemption day
[Verse 4]
A G C
It's buried in the countryside
A G Em
It's exploding in the shells at night
A G C
It's everywhere a baby cries
C A
Freedom
C A
Freedom
Em
Freedom
