Redemption Day Chords

[Intro]
Em
 
 
[Verse]
Em                             Em
I've wept for those who suffer long
Em                              Em
But how I weep for those who've gone
Em                               Em
In rooms of grief and questioned wrong
         A          Em
But keep on killing
 
 
Em                            Em
It's in the soul to feel such things
Em                        Em
But weak to watch without speaking
Em                     Em
Oh, what mercy sadness brings
       A            Em
If God be willing
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                    G
There is a train that's heading straight
            C                 G
To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate
           G             G
And on the way child and man
          C               A    A
And woman wait, watch and wait
               Em
For redemption day
 
 
[Verse]
Em                Em
Fire rages in the streets
Em                         Em
And swallows everything it meets
Em                       Em
It's just an image often seen
        A        Em
On television
 
 
Em                           Em
Come leaders, come ye men of great
Em                      Em
Let us hear you pontificate
Em                        Em
Your many virtues laid to waste
          A             Em
And we aren't listening
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                    G
There is a train that's heading straight
            C                 G
To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate
           G             G
And on the way child and man
          C               A    A
And woman wait, watch and wait
               Em
For redemption day
 
 
[Bridge]
A                        C
What do you have for us today
A                            Em
Throw us a bone but save the plate
A                        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
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                    G
There is a train that's heading straight
            C                 G
To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate
           G             G
And on the way child and man
          C               A    A
And woman wait, watch and wait
               Em   Em
For redemption day
 
 
 
[Outro]
A                         C
It's buried in the countryside
A                          Em
Exploding in the shells at night
A                      C
It's everywhere a baby cries
C            Em
Freedom......
A            A
Freedom......
Em           Em
Freedom......
