Introdução: Am

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
 

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

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


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
 

D           C                F
What do you have for us today
D          C                 Am
Throw us a bone but save the plate
D         C                 F
On 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


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


D           C             F
It's buried in the countryside
D         C                Am
Exploding in the shells at night
D         C            F
It's everywhere a baby cries
F         D  F         D  Am
Freedom......Freedom......Freedom
