Redemption Song (CHORDS) by Bob Marley

G Em7
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.

C G Am
Sold I to the merchant ships

G Em C G Am
minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit.

G Em7
But my hand was made strong

C G Am
By the hand of the Almighty.

G Em C D
We forward in this generation triumphantly.

[[CHORUS]]

G C D G
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?

C D Em C D G
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs,

C D G
redemption songs

G Em7
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,

C G Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.

G Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,

C G Am
'Cause none of them can stop the time.

G Em7
How long shall they kill our prophets

C G Am
While we stand aside and look?

G Em
Yes, some say it's just a part of it.

C D
We've got to fulfill the book.
