Redemption Song

    G                    Em
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.
C               B*         Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G                    Em
minutes after they took I
C                  D7
from the bottomless pit.
          G                Em
But my hand was made strong
C       B*         Am
By the hand of the Almighty.
   G                     Em 
We forward in this generation 
    C      D7
triumphantly.
