Tom: A5
 

Verse 1:
A5
I've wept for those who suffer long

But how I weep for those who've gone

Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
                    D5
But keep on killing

Verse 2:
A5
It's in the soul to feel such things

But weak to watch without speaking

Oh what mercy sadness brings
                 D5         A5
If God be willing        (Riff 1)

Chorus:
A5       C5
There is a train that's heading straight
C5              A5        A5     C5
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
C5            C5
And on the way, child and man
C5              A5    A5       D5
And woman wait, watch and wait
                         A5
For redemption day

Verse 3:
A5
The fire rages in the streets

And swallows everything it meets

It's just an image often seen
              D5
On television

Verse 4:
A5
Come leaders, come you men of great

Let us hear you pontificate

Your many virtues laid to waste
                       D5        Riff 1
And we aren't listening

Verse 5: (Different)
A5                D5            C5      A5
What do you have for us today
A5              D5                 C5        A5
Throw us a bone but saw the plate
A5              D5          C5        A5
Oh why we waited til so late
A5                                    D5
Was there no oil to excavate

No riches in trade for the fate

Of every person who died in hate
                                    C5         A5
Throw us a bone, you men of great

Chorus:
A5       C5
There is a train that's heading straight
C5              A5   A5         C5
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
C5            C5
And on the way, child and man
C5              A5    C5              D5
And woman wait, watch and wait
                         A5        Riff 1
For redemption day

Verse 6:
A5            C5                   D5      A5
It's buried in the countryside
A5            C5                     D5
Exploding in the shells of night
A5
It's everywhere a baby cries
D5      A5          D5      A5
Freedom , freedom , freedom , freedom

Ends on 
A5
