Bob Marley – Redemption Song

VERSE 1:

    G                     Em7

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

     C                G/B                Am

sold I to the merchant ships

 G                           Em      C

Minutes after they took I

          G/B        Am

from the bottomless pit.

        G             Em7       C

But my hand was made strong

        G/B                      Am

by the hand of the Almighty.

    G                  Em     C                           D       Dsus4            D

We forward in this generation...triumphantly.

CHORUS:

                   G       C

Won't you help to sing

 D               G

these songs of freedom?

        C     D       Em     C

'Cause all I ever have,

redemption songs.

VERSE 2:

      G                             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 -> mute

'cause none of them can stop the time.

        G                      Em7

How long shall they kill our prophets,

           C  G/B          Am

While we stand aside and look?

      C                     Em

Some say it's just a part of it

       G                D       Dsus4      D

we've got to fulfill the book.
