REDEMPTION DAY
CAPO 1
INTRO: Am
Am
I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
In rooms of grief and questioned wrong
Am D Am
But keep on killing
Am
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what mercy sadness brings
Am D Am
If God be willing
CHORUS:
Am C
There is a train that's heading straight
C Am F C
To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate
C
And on the way child and man
C Am F D
And woman wait, watch and wait
D Am
For redemption day
Am
Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
Am D Am
On television
Am
Come leaders, come ye men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
Am D Am
And we aren't listening
CHORUS:
Am C
There is a train that's heading straight
C Am F C
To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate
C
And on the way child and man
C Am F D
And woman wait, watch and wait
D Am
For redemption day
BRIDGE:
D C F
What do you have for us today
D C Am
Throw us a bone but save the plate
D C F
On why we waited till so late
F D
Was there no oil to excavate
D F
No riches in trade for the fate
F D
Of every person who died in hate
D Am
Throw us a bone, you men of great
CHORUS:
Am C
There is a train that's heading straight
C Am F C
To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate
C
And on the way child and man
C Am F D
And woman wait, watch and wait
D Am
For redemption day
OUTRO:
D C F
It's buried in the countryside
D C Am
Exploding in the shells at night
D C F
It's everywhere a baby cries
F D F D Am
Freedom......Freedom......Freedom
