VERSE 1:
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
sold I to the [G/B]merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
from the [G/B]bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
by the [G/B]hand of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

CHORUS:
Won’t you help to sing
Another song of freedom
‘Cause all I ever have,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.

BRIDGE Play 4X:


VERSE 2:
Emancipate yourself 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?
Some say it’s just a part of it,
We’ve got to fulfill the Book.

(CHORUS)
