Redemption Day Chords by Johnny Cash

[Intro]

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


[Chorus]
Bbm            Db                           
■   There is a train that's headin' straight
            Bbm  Gb          Db  
To heaven's gate to heaven's gate
                                       Bbm  Db
And on the way child and man and woman wait ■ 
Gb           Eb                  Bbm Bb7
■  Watch and wait for redemption day ■  


[Verse]
                  Bb7    
Fire rages in the streets
                           Bb7  
And swallows everything it meets
Bbm                              Eb         Bbm
It's just an image often seen on television ■  
                            Bbm  
Come leaders come ye men of great
                Bbm        
Let us hear you pontificate
                          Bbm  
Your many virtues laid to waste
              Eb       
And we aren't listening


[Chorus]
Bbm            Db                           
■   There is a train that's heading straight
                 Gb          Db  
To heaven's gate to heaven's gate
                                       Bbm 
And on the way child and man and woman wait
Gb           Eb                  Bbm Bb7 Bbm
■  Watch and wait for redemption day ■   ■  


[Verse]
Eb          Db          Gb   
What do you have for us today
Eb         Db                Bbm  
Throw us a bone but save the plate
Eb           Db             Gb  
■  Oh why we waited 'til so late
                    Gb      
Was there no oil to excavate
Eb                         Gb  
No riches in trade for the fate
                            Eb  
Of every person who died in hate
                           Bbm  
Throw us a bone you men of great


[Chorus]
           Db                           
There is a train that's heading straight
            Bbm  Gb          Db  
To heaven's gate to heaven's gate
                                       Bbm 
And on the way child and man and woman wait
Gb           Eb                  Bbm Bb7 Bbm
■  Watch and wait for redemption day ■   ■  
Eb   Db             Gb         
It's buried inn the countryside
Eb        Db               Bbm  
Exploding in the shells of night
Eb      Db                Gb   
■  It's everywhere a baby cries


[Outro]
        Eb Gb      Eb Bbm     Bb7 Bbm A7
Freedom ■  freedom ■  freedom ■   ■   ■
