Verse 1:
[Am]I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing [Dsus4]
Verse 2:
[Am]It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing[Dsus4] (Riff [Am]1)
Chorus:
[Am/B]There is a [C]train that's heading straight
[C/B]To heaven's gate,[Am] to heaven[Am/B]'s gate [C]
[C/B]And on the way,[C] child and man
[C/B]And woman wait, w[Am]atch a[Am/B]nd wait [D]
For redemption day [Am]
Verse 3:
[Am]The fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television [Dsus4]
Verse 4:
[Am]Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
Dsus4 Riff 1
And we aren't listening
Verse 5: (Different)
[Am]What do you have f[Dsus4]or us today [C] [Am]
[Am]Throw us a bone [Dsus4]but saw the plate [C] [Am]
[Am]Oh why we waited[Dsus4] til so late [C] [Am]
[Am]Was there no oil to excavate [Dsus4]
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great [C] [Am]
Chorus:
[Am/B]There is a [C]train that's heading straight
[C/B]To heaven's gate,[Am] to h[Am/B]eaven's gate [C]
[C/B]And on the way,[C] child and man
[C/B]And woman wait, w[Am]atch a[C]nd wait [Dsus4]
Am Riff 1
For redemption day
Verse 6:
[Am]It's buried in[C] the countryside [Dsus4] [Am]
[Am]Exploding in t[C]he shells of night [Dsus4]
[Am]It's everywhere a baby cries
[Dsus4]Freedom, fr[Am]eedom, freed[Dsus4]om, freedom[Am]
Ends on Am
