Redemption Day

	  		
Intro: Am 

Am 
I've wept for those who suffer long 
Am 
But how I weep for those who've gone 
Am 
In rooms of grief and questioned wrong 
Am          D       Am 
But keep on killing 
  
Am 
It's in the soul to feel such things 
Am 
But weak to watch without speaking 
Am 
Oh, what mercy sadness brings 
Am        D        Am 
If God be willing 
  

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 
Am 
And swallows everything it meets 
Am 
It's just an image often seen 
Am     D     Am 
On television 

Am 
Come leaders, come ye men of great 
Am 
Let us hear you pontificate 
Am 
Your many virtues laid to waste 
Am       D     Am 
And we aren't listening 


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 
  

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 


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 


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
