Bob Marley - Redemption Song

Redemption Song




(Bob Marley)

     G Em7
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I
    C G/B Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
     G Em C G/B Am
minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit
       G Em7
But my hand was made strong
    C G/B Am
By the hand of the Almighty
     G Em C D
We forward in this generation triumphantly

Reff:

                         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/B Am
None but ourselves can free our minds
              G Em
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 Em
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it.
              C D
We’ve got to fulfill the book.
