VERSE 1:
    G                     Em7
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
     C        G/B      Am 
sold I to the merchant ships
G	                Em      
   Minutes after they took I
C           G/B        Am6
   from the bottomless pit.
       G        Em7
But my hand was made strong
C         G/B	      Am
   by the hand of the Almighty.
   G                   Em
We forward in this generation
C	       Am6
   Triumphantly.


CHORUS:
                     G      
Won't you help to sing
C          D           G
   Another song of freedom
       C     D         Em 
'Cause all I ever have,
C    D           G
   Redemption songs,
C    D           G     		C    D
   Redemption songs.

VERSE 2:
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it,
We've got to fulfill the Book.

(CHORUS)
