Redemption Song
by Bob Marley

 Am  C
 D  Em
 G
G C D    G C Am G (x2)

Old G Pirates, yes, they Em rob I.
C Sold I to the G merchant Am ships
G minutes after Em they took I
C from the G bottomless Am pit.
But my G hand was Em made strong
C By the G hand of the AlAmmighty.
G We forward in this geneEmration
C triGumphantDly.

Chorus:
D Won't you help to G sing
C these D songs of G freedom?
'Cause C all I D ever had Em,
C reDdemption G songs,
C reDdemption G songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it.
We've got to fulfill the book.

--Chorus

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it.
We've got to fulfill the book.

--Chorus
