Sheryl Crow – Redemption Day (Guitar)

Am
 I've wept for those who suffer long

Am
 But how I weep for those who've gone

Am
 Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong

            D11    (E)
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

          D11    (E)
If God be willing

      C/B  C
There is a train that's heading straight

   C/B      Am       F        C
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

    C/B    C
And on the way, child and man

    C/B   Am    F         D11    (E)
And woman wait, watch and wait

               Am
For redemption day

Am
 Fire rages in the streets

Am
 And swallows everything it meets

Am
 It's just an image often seen

       D11    (E)
On television

Am
 Come leaders, come you men of great

Am
 Let us hear you pontificate

Am
 Your many virtues laid to waste

              D11    (E)
 And we aren't listening

Am           D              F/C        Am
 What do you have for us today

Am          D                  F/C        Am
 Throw us a bone but save the plate

Am         D                F/C        Am
 On why we waited til so late

Am            D
 Was there no oil to excavate

D
 No riches in trade for the fate

D
 Of every person who died in hate

D                               Am
 Throw us a bone, you men of great

      C/B  C
There is a train that's heading straight

   C/B      Am       F        C
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate

    C/B    C
And on the way, child and man

    C/B   Am    F         D
And woman wait, watch and wait

               Am
For redemption day

Am           C                 D        Am
 It's buried in the countryside

Am              C                D        Am
 It's exploding in the shells at night

Am
 It's everywhere a baby cries

D
Freedom

Am
Freedom

D
Freedom

Am
Freedom

Am
Freedom
