Johnny Cash - Redemption Day standard tuning Capo 6th VERSE: Em I've wept for those who suffer long But how I weep for those who've gone Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong A Em But keep on killing It's in the soul to feel such things But weak to watch without speaking Oh what mercy sadness brings A Em If God be willing REF: G There is a train that's heading straight Em C G To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate And on the way, child and man, Em C A And woman wait, watch and wait Em For redemption day VERSE: Em Fire rages in the streets And swallows everything it meets It's just an image often seen A Em On television [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/johnny-cash/215096.html ] Come leaders, come you men of great Let us hear you pontificate Your many virtues laid to waste A Em And we aren't listening REF: VERSE: A G C What do you have for us today A G Em Throw us a bone but save the plate A G C On why we waited till so late C A Was there no oil to excavate C No riches in trade for the fate A Of every person who died in hate Em Throw us a bone, you men of great REF: VERSE: A G C It's buried in the countryside A G Em It's exploding in the shells at night A G C It's everywhere a baby cries C A Freedom C A Freedom Em Freedom |
