Verse 1

G Em   Old pirates, yes, they rob I
C Am   sold I to the merchant ships.
G Em   Minutes after they took I
C D    from the bottomless pit.

G Em   But my hand was made strong
C Am   by the hand of the Almighty.
G Em   We forward in this generation
C D    triumphantly.

Chorus

D  G   Won't you help to sing
CD G   these songs of freedom?
CD Em  'Cause all I ever have:
CD G   Redemption songs.
CD G   Redemption songs.

Verse 2

G Em   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   Some say it's just a part of it
C D    we've got to fulfill the book.

Chorus
