[Verse 1]
    G                      Em   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            Em Em7
But my hand was made strong
C        G/B           Am
  By the hand of the Almighty.
   G                   Em    C   Am7    D
We forward in this generation triumphantly.
 
[Chorus]
                 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.
 
[Verse 2]
       G                      Em     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      D
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
    G                        Em  Em7
How long shall they kill our prophets
         C      G/B      Am
While we stand aside and look?
          G               Em
Ooh, some say it's just a part of it.
      C         Am7      D
We've got to fulfill the book.
 
[Chorus]
                  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       G      C D
redemption songs, redemption songs.

     as it was log wood burnin through the nights
C         G/B                Am             F
   Then we would cook corn meal porridge
