Chords for Johnny Cash - Redemption Day HQ

_ _ _ _ [G] _ I've wept _
[Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
for those who suffer long, _ _ _ but how I weep for those who've gone.
_ _ _ In rooms of grief and question wrong, _ [Bb] but keep on killing.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ It's in the soul to feel such things, _ _ _ but weak to watch without speaking. _ _ _ _
Oh, what mercy sadness brings, _ if [Bb] God be willing.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ There is [Db] a train _ that's heading straight to [Bbm] heaven's gates, [Gb] _ to [Db] heaven's gates. _
And on the way, _ child and man _ [Bbm] and woman wait, [Gb] _
[Eb] watch and wait _ _ _ _ _ for redemption [Bb] day.
_ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Fire rages in the streets _ _ and _ swallows everything it meets.
_ _ _ It's just an image often seen _ on [Eb] television.
_ Come _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ leaders, come ye men of grace, _ _ _ let us hear you _ pontificate. _ _ _ _
Your many virtues laid to waste _ and we [Eb] aren't listening.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ There is [Db] a train _ that's heading straight _ to [Bb] heaven's gates, [Gb] to [Db] heaven's gates. _
And on the way, _ child and man _ and woman [Bbm] wait, [Gb] _ _
[Eb] watch and wait _ _ for _ _ redemption [Bbm] day. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
What do [Db] you have for us [Gb] today? _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ Throw us [Db] the bone, but [Bbm] save the plate.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Oh, why we [Db] waited till [Gb] so late? _ _ _ _
Was there no oil to [Eb] excavate?
No riches in trade?
[Gb] For the fate of every person you [Eb] died and hate.
Throw us the bone, ye men [Bbm] of grace. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There [Db] is a train _ _ that's heading straight _ to [Bbm] heaven's gates, _ [Gb] to [Db] heaven's gates.
_ And on the way, _ child and _ man and [Bbm] woman wait, _ [Gb] _ watch and [Eb] wait _ _ _ _ _ for [Bbm] redemption day. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ It's [Db] buried in the [Gb] countryside, _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Db] exploding in the shells [Bbm] of night. _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Db] It's everywhere, [Gb] baby cries, _ _ _ freedom, _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
freedom, _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] freedom. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
