   G                      Em Em7
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.

Sold I to the merchant ships
G                  Em      C         G/B        Am7
minutes after they took I   from the bottomless pit.
       G            Em Em7
But my hand was made strong
C      G/B           Am7
By the hand of the Almighty.
   G                   Em    C   Am7    D/F#
We forward in this generation triumphantly.


                G    C       D        G
Won't you help to sing    these songs of freedom?

Cause all I ever had,      redemption songs,

redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
            C          G/B          Am7
None but ourselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,
              C        G/B         D7
Cause none of them can stop the time.
    G                        Em Em7
How long shall they kill our prophets
         C      G/B         Am7
While we stand aside and look?
          G              Em
Ooh, some say it's just a part of it.
      C         Am7         D7
We've got to fulfill the book.
