Bob Marley - Redemption Song

Intro:
G C G  

  G                      Em7 
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I
     C        G         Am      
Sold I to the merchant ships
G                   Em7      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                   Em7    C         D 
We forward in this generation triumphantly

                   G    C       D        G 
Won't you help to sing    these songs of freedom
      C     D     Em C D        G     ( C )  
Cause all I ever had,  redemption songs
  D       G      C ( D )     
Redemption songs

Bridge:
Em C D   

      G                            Em7 
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
            C          G           Am 
None but ourselves can free our minds
G                        Em7 
Have no fear for atomic energy
              C        G          D 
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              Em7 
Ooh, some say it's just a part of it
      C         Am7         D   
We've got to fulfill the book

C     D     Em7 C D             Em7  
All I ever had, redemption songs
C     D       G  
These songs of freedom
