    G                      Em    
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.    
    C         C/B             Am    
Sold I to the merchant ships    
G                      Em  C         C/B       Am    
minutes after they took I   from the bottomless pit.    
       G            Em    
But my hand was made strong    
C           C/B          Am    
By the hand of the Almighty.    
     G                  Em   C          D    
We forward in this generation triumphantly.

   Won't you help to sing    these songs of freedom?    
          C     D       Em  C   D      G    
   'Cause all I ever have,    redemption songs,    
  C   D      G            
   redemption songs.
    

     G                           Em    
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,    
           C           C/B             Am    
None but ourselves can free our minds.    
       G                    Em    
Have no fear for atomic energy,    
              C         C/B            Am    
'Cause none of them can stop the time.    
    G                        Em    
How long shall they kill our prophets    
        C       C/B            Am    
While we stand aside and look?    
             G            Em    
Yes, some say it's just a part of it.    
      C                 D    
We've got to fulfill the book.
