Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G]

[Verse 1]
I've wept for those who suffer [Gm]long
[G]
[C]But how[G] I weep for those
[Gm]who've [G]gone
Into rooms of grief and
[Bb]questioned [Gm]wrong
[G]But keep on kil[C]ling
[G]It's in the soul to feel suc[Gm]h thi[G]ngs
But weak to watch without
speak[Gm]ing[G]
Oh, what mercy [Gm]sadness brings
[G]If God be [C]willing

[Verse 2]
There is a [Bb]train that's [Eb]heading
[Bb]straight
To Heaven's gate,
[C]to [Eb]Heaven's gate[Bb]
And on the way, child and man
And woman [C]wait, [Eb]watch and wait[C]
For [G]redemption day

[Verse 3]
[G]
Fire rages in [Gm]the streets[G]
And swallows everything it [Gm]meets[G]
[C]It's jus[G]t an image often see[Gm]n
[G]On televisio[C]n
[G]Come leaders, come,
you men [Gm]of great[G]
Let us hear you pontificate
[Gm]Your[G] many virtues laid to wast[Gm]e
[G]And we aren't listening[C]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Bb][C]
[Bb][Eb][Bb][Eb][Bb][C][Bb][G]

[Verse 4]
What do you have for us, [Gm]today?[G]
[C]Throw us [G]a bone but save the pla[Gm]te[G]
[C]On why[G] you waited 'til so [Gm]late[G]
[Eb]Was there no oil to excavate?
[C]No riches in trade for[Eb] the fate
Of every person who died [C]in hate
Throw us a bone,
you men of great
[Bb][Am]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[Gm]There is a tra[Bb]in that's head[F]ing stra[Bb]ight
To Heaven's [Gm]gate,
[Eb]to Heaven's gate[Bb]
And on the way, child and man
And woman [Gm]wait, [Eb]watch and wait[C]
For redemption [G]day
[Gm]

[Verse 6]
[Eb]It's buried in the countrysi[C]de
[Eb]Explodin' in the shells of n[C]ight
[Eb]It's everywhere a baby cries[C][Bb]
[C]Freedom
Freedom
[Eb]Freedom
[C]Freedom
[Eb]Freedom
[C]
