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 keep [Bb] on killing. _ _ _ _ _
_ It's in the soul to feel such things, _ _ but weak to watch without speaking. _ _
_ Oh, what mercy sadness brings, if God [Bb] be willing.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _
There is [Db] 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 woman wait, [Gb] _ [Eb] watch and wait _ _ _ for redemption [Bb] day. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Fire rages in the streets and _ swallows everything [Bbm] 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. _
_ [Bbm] _ _ There is [Db] a train that's heading straight to [Bb] 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 _ redemption [Bbm] day. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] What do [Db] you have for us [Gb] today? _ _
_ [Eb] Throw [Db] us the bone, but [Bbm] save the plate. _
_ [Eb] Oh, why [Db] 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 died [Eb] in hate, throw us the bone, ye men [Bbm] of great. _ _ _ _ _
There is [Db] 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] watch [Eb] and wait _
_ _ for redemption [Bbm] day. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] It's [Db] buried in the [Gb] countryside, _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] exploding in the [Bbm] shells of night.
_ _ [Eb] It's [Db] everywhere, [Gb] baby cries, _ _ freedom, _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gb] freedom, _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] freedom. _
