VERSE 1:
    G                  Em7         C        C/B      Am
Old pirates, yes, they rob I, sold I to the merchant ships.
G                  Em      C        C/B        Am
Minutes after they took I, from the bottomless pit.
       G        Em7         C        C/B           Am
But my hand was made strong   by the hand of the Almighty.
   G                   Em     C           D
We forward in this generation   triumphantly.

CHORUS:
D                 G    C       D        G
Won't you help to sing   these songs of freedom?
       C     D         Em     C   D        G      C   D        G      C   D
'Cause all I ever have          redemption songs,   redemption songs.

VERSE 2:
      G                           Em7                  C          C/B      Am
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.
        G               Em                    C        C/B      D
Have no fear for atomic energy 'cause none of them can stop the time.
    G                        Em7                C      C/B      Am
How long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look?
     G               Em                C         C/B      D
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfill the book.

CHORUS 2:
D                 G    C       D        G
Won't you help to sing   these songs of freedom?
       C     D         Em     C   D        G      C   D        G
'Cause all I ever have          redemption songs,   redemption songs,
C   D        G       C   D
  redemption songs.

'Cause all I ever have          redemption songs,
 C     D         Em     C   D        G
 all I ever have          redemption songs,
C        D        G        C   D        G
   these songs of freedom,     songs of freedom.
