G Em
Oh pirates, yes they rob us
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
he fought in this generation
C D
triumphantly
G C
Won't you help to sing,
D G
These songs of freedom,
C D Em C
'cos all I ever had
D G C D G C D
Redemption songs
G Em
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
C Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
G Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,
C D
'cos none of them can stop the time
G Em
How long will they kill our prophets
C Am
While we stand around and look?
G Em
Some say it's just a part of it
C D
We got's to fulfill the book
G C
Won't you help to sing,
D G
These songs of freedom,
C D Em C
'cos all I ever had
D G C D G C D
Redemption songs
