[Verse 1]
    [G]                      [Em]   [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]            [Em] [Em7]
But my hand was made strong
[C]        [G/B]           [Am]
  By the hand of the Almighty.
   [G]                   [Em]    [C]   [Am7]    [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]      [C]
Cause all I ever had,      redemption songs,
  [D]       [G]      [C] [D]
redemption songs.

[Verse 2]
       [G]                      [Em]     [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]      [D]
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
    [G]                        [Em]  [Em7]
How long shall they kill our prophets
         [C]      [G/B]      [Am]
While we stand aside and look?
          [G]               [Em]
Ooh, some say it's just a part of it.
      [C]         [Am7]      [D]
We've got to fulfill the book.

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