Redemption Day Chords by Johnny Cash

_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've wept for those who suffer long, _ _ but how I weep for those who've gone
In _ rooms of grief and questioned wrong, but [Bb] 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 [Db] is a train that's heading straight to [Bbm] heaven's gate, [Gb] to [Db] heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man and [Bbm] woman wait, [Gb] _ [Eb] watch and wait _
_ _ _ For [Bb] redemption day _
_ _ _ _ _ _ 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 great, _ _ let us hear you pontificate
_ _ Your many virtues laid to waste, and we [Eb] aren't listening
There [Bbm] _ _ _ [Db] is a train that's heading straight to [Bbm] heaven's gate, [Gb]
to [Db] heaven's gate
And on the way, _ child and man and [Bbm] woman wait, _ [Eb] watch and wait
_ For _ _ [Bbm] redemption day _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] What do you [Db] have for [Gb] us today? _ _
_ [Eb] Throw [Db] us a bone, but [Bbm] save the plate _
_ [Eb] Oh, while we waited till [Gb] so late, _ _ was there no oil to [Eb] excavate?
No riches in trade [Gb] for the fate of every person who [Eb] died in hate
Throw us a bone, ye [Bbm] men of great _ _ _ _
There [Db] is a train that's heading straight to [Bbm] heaven's gate, [Gb] to [Db] heaven's gate
And on the way, _ child and man and [Bbm] woman wait, _ [Gb] [Eb] watch and wait _
_ _ _ For [Bbm] redemption day _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] It's [Db] buried in the [Gb] countryside, _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] exploding in the [Bbm] shells of night
_ _ [Eb] It's [Db] everywhere a [Gb] baby cries, _ freedom, _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gb] freedom, _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] freedom _
