Old Pirates, yes they rob I,

Sold I to the Merchant ships.

Minutes after they took I, from the bottomless pit. 
       G             Em7

 Redemption Songs 

 
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery 
None but ourselves can free our minds 
Have no fear for atomic energy 
Cause none of them can stop the time 
How long shall they kill our prophets 
Will we stand aside and look 
Yes some say it's just a part of it 
We've got to fulfill the book. 
 
Repeat Chorus and say Redemption Songs once more. 
 
Old pirates, yes they rob I, 
Sold I to the merchant ships. 
Minutes after they took I, from the bottomless pit. 
How long shall they kill our prophets, 
while we stand aside and look. 
Yes some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfill the book. 
 
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom 
Cause all I ever had, Redemption Songs 
All I ever had, Redemption Songs 
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom.
