Written by Bob Marley

	  		(intro 2x)  G C D 

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

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

                  G                                           Em 
2. emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, 
                          C                             Am 
    none but ourselves can free our minds. 
                    G                   Em 
    Have no fear for atomic energy, 
                               C                          D 
    'cause none of them can stop the time. 
               G                                Em 
     How long shall they kill our prophets, 
                      C                      Am 
    While we stand aside and look? 
               G                  Em                     C                     D 
    Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfil the book. 

           G             D         G      C           D              G 
    So won't you help to sing       these songs of freedom? 
                Em    D      Em    C      D             G         C 
    'Cause all   I  ever had,       redemption songs,
