[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am I've wept for those who suffer long Am But how I weep for those who've gone Am In rooms of grief and questioned wrong Am D Am But keep on killing Am It's in the soul to feel such things Am But weak to watch without speaking Am Oh, what mercy sadness brings Am D Am If God be willing
[Chorus]
Am C There is a train that's heading straight C Am F C To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate C And on the way child and man C Am F D And woman wait, watch and wait D Am For redemption day
[Verse]
Am Fire rages in the streets Am And swallows everything it meets Am It's just an image often seen Am D Am On television Am Come leaders, come ye men of great Am Let us hear you pontificate Am Your many virtues laid to waste Am D Am And we aren't listening
[Chorus]
Am C There is a train that's heading straight C Am F C To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate C And on the way child and man C Am F D And woman wait, watch and wait D Am For redemption day
[Bridge]
D C F What do you have for us today D C Am Throw us a bone but save the plate D C F Oh why we waited till so late F D Was there no oil to excavate D F No riches in trade for the fate F D Of every person who died in hate D Am Throw us a bone, you men of great
[Chorus]
Am C There is a train that's heading straight C Am F C To Heaven's gate, to Heaven's gate C And on the way child and man C Am F D And woman wait, watch and wait D Am For redemption day
[Outro]
D C F It's buried in the countryside D C Am Exploding in the shells of night D C F It's everywhere a baby cries F D F D Am Freedom......Freedom......Freedom
