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

Chorus:
                     G  C    D          G
Wonʼt you help to sing these songs of freedom?
          C     D       Em  C   D      G
ʼCause all I ever had, redemption songs,
C   D      G    C
redemption songs.

D     G                           Em7
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
           C           G          Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
       G                    Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,
              C         G        Am
ʼCause none of them can stop the time.
    G                        Em7
How long shall they kill our prophets
        C       G            Am
While we stand aside and look?
             G            Em
Yes, some say itʼs just a part of it.
      C                 D
Weʼve got to fulfill the book.

Chorus:
                     G  C    D          G
Wonʼt you help to sing these songs of freedom?
          C     D       Em  C   D      G
ʼCause all I ever had, redemption songs,
C   D      G    C
redemption songs.

D     G                           Em7
