[Bb]
Old pirates, yes [Gm] they robbed I, [Eb] sold I to the merchant's [Cm] ship,
[Bb] minutes after they [Gm] took I [Eb] from the [F] bottomless pit.
But my [Bb] hand [Gm] was made strong by the hand of the [Cm] Almighty, [Bb] we forward in this [Gm] generation, [Eb] [F] triumphantly.
Won't you [Bb] help to sing [Eb] [F] these songs [Bb] of freedom, cause all [F] I [Gm] ever had, [Eb] [F] redemption [Bb]
songs, [F] redemption [Bb] songs.
[F]
[Bb] Emancipate yourselves from mental [Gm] slavery, none [Eb] but ourselves can free our [C] minds.
[Bb] Have no fear for atomic [Gm] energy, cause none [Eb] of them can stop the [F] time.
How [Bb] long shall they kill our [Gm] prophets, while we [Eb] stand aside and [Cm] look?
Some [Bb] say it's just a [Gm] part of it, [Eb] we got to fulfill the [F] book.
So won't you help [Bb] to sing
[Eb] [F] these songs [Bb] of freedom, cause all [F] I ever [Gm] had,
[Eb] [F] redemption [Bb] songs,
[Eb] [F] redemption [Bb] songs.

How [Bb] long shall they kill our [Gm] prophets, while [Eb] we stand [Cm]
aside and look?
[Bb] Yes, some say it's just [Gm] a part of it, [Eb] we got to fulfill [F] the book.
