Verse:
  G           Em7
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.
  C     G/B       Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G           Em C     G/B    Am
minutes after they took I  from the bottomless pit.
    G      Em7
But my hand was made strong
C      G/B     Am
By the hand of the Almighty.
   G         Em  C     D
We forward in this generation triumphantly.

Chorus:
             G C  D     G
  Won't you help to sing  these songs of freedom?
     C   D    Em C  D   G
  'Cause all I ever had,  redemption songs,
 C  D   G    C
  redemption songs.
D   G              Em7
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
      C      G/B       Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
    G          Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,
       C     G/B      Am
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
  G            Em7
How long shall they kill our prophets
    C    G/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.
