Johnny Cash – Redemption chords

Johnny Cash - Redemption Day
standard tuning
Capo 6th

VERSE: 
 EmI've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
             A         EmBut keep on killing

It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
           A          EmIf God be willing

REF:
            GThere is a train that's heading straight
             Em  C            GTo heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
          Em    C          AAnd woman wait, watch and wait
                Em  For redemption day

VERSE:
EmFire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
       A       EmOn television

Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
               A         EmAnd we aren't listening

VERSE:
A           G            CWhat do you have for us today
A           G                 EmThrow us a bone but save the plate
A           G             COn why we waited till so late
C                          AWas there no oil to excavate
                            CNo riches in trade for the fate
                            AOf every person who died in hate
                             EmThrow us a bone, you men of great

REF:

VERSE:
A           G              CIt's buried in the countryside
A              G                EmIt's exploding in the shells at night
A          G             CIt's everywhere a baby cries
C       AFreedom
C       AFreedom
