Redemption Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash - Redemption Day
standard tuning
Capo 6th
VERSE:
I[Em]'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 k[A]illing[Em]
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be w[A]illing[Em]
REF:
There is a t[G]rain that's heading straight
To heaven's g[Em]ate,[C] to heaven's [G]gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman [Em]wait, [C]watch and w[A]ait
For redemption d[Em]ay
VERSE:
[Em]Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On tele[A]vision[Em]
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't l[A]istening[Em]
REF:
VERSE:
[A]What do you [G]have for us t[C]oday
[A]Throw us a b[G]one but save the p[Em]late
[A]On why we wa[G]ited till so l[C]ate
[C]Was there no oil to excavat[A]e
No riches in trade for the f[C]ate
Of every person who died in [A]hate
Throw us a bone, you men of g[Em]reat
REF:
VERSE:
[A]It's buried [G]in the countrys[C]ide
[A]It's exploding [G]in the shells at [Em]night
[A]It's everyw[G]here a baby cr[C]ies
[C]Freedom[A]
[C]Freedom[A]
[Em]Freedom
