Bob Marley feat The Wailers - Redemption Song

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G Em7
Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
C G/B Am
Sold I to the merchant ships,
G Em7
Minutes after they took I
C G/B Am
From the bottomless pit.
G Em7
But my head was made strong
C G/B Am
By the hand of the Almighty.
G Em7
We forward in this generation
C G/B Am
Triumphantly.
D G
Won’t you help to sing

[Chorus]
C D G
These songs of freedom?
C D Em
‘Cause all I ever have,
C D G
Redemption songs,
C D G
Redemption songs.

[Verse 2]
C D G Em7
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
C G/B Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
G Em7
Have no fear for atomic energy,
C G/B Am
‘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?
G Em7
Some say it’s just a part of it,
C D
We’ve got to fulfill the book.
D G
Won’t you help to sing

[Chorus]
C D G
These songs of freedom?
C D Em
‘Cause all I ever have,
C D G
Redemption songs,
C D G
Redemption songs.
C D G C D
Redemption songs.
