Johnny Cash - Redemption Day
standard tuning
Capo 6th
VERSE:
IEm'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 kAilling Em
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be wAilling Em
REF:
There is a tGrain that's heading straight
To heaven's gEmate,C to heaven's Ggate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman Emwait, Cwatch and wAait
For redemption dEmay
VERSE:
EmFire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On teleAvision Em
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't lAistening Em
REF:
VERSE:
AWhat do you Ghave for us tCoday
AThrow us a bGone but save the pEmlate
AOn why we waGited till so lCate
CWas there no oil to excavatAe
No riches in trade for the fCate
Of every person who died in Ahate
Throw us a bone, you men of gEmreat
REF:
VERSE:
AIt's buried Gin the countrysCide
AIt's exploding Gin the shells at Emnight
AIt's everywGhere a baby crCies
