[Intro] G  C  D
        G  C  D

[First Part]

      G              Em
Old pirates yes they rob I
     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
We forward in this generation
C          D
Triumphantly

[Chorus]

D                  G   C
Won’t you help to sing
        D         G
These songs of freedom?
       C     D    Em
Cause all I ever have
C   D         G
Redemption songs
C   D         G

[Second Part]

      G                             Em
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
             C                    Am
None but ourselves can free our minds
         G               Em
Have no fear for atomic energy
               C                 D
Cause none of them can stop the time
     G                          Em
How long shall they kill our prophets
          C               Am
While we stand aside and look?
      G               Em
Some say it’s just a part of it
       C                  D
We’ve got to fulfill the book

[Chorus]

D                  G   C
Won’t you help to sing
        D         G
These songs of freedom?
       C     D    Em
Cause all I ever have
C   D         G
