[Verse 1]
G                        Em          C                 Am
  Old pirates, yes, they rob I, sold I to the merchant ships
G                      Em    C                     Am
Minutes that they took I       from the bottomless pit
       G             Em      C                        Am
But my hand was made strong     by the hands of the Almighty
   G                   Em      C           D   Dsus4* D   D*
We forward in this generation    Triumphantly
 
[Chorus]
N.C.              G      C     D              G
Won't you help me sing         These songs of freedom?
     C     D        Em   C    D        G     C   D        G      C   D
It's all I ever had         Redemption songs   Redemption songs
 
[Verse 2]
 G                         Em                          C                   Am
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds
     G                  Em             Am               Am7      Am6
Have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time
    G                        Em                 C               Am
How long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look?
     G               Em                C                  D   Dsus4* D   D*
Some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfill the book
 
[Chorus]
N.C.              G      C     D              G
Won't you help me sing         These songs of freedom?
     C     D        Em   C    D        G     C   D        G
It's all I ever had         Redemption songs   Redemption songs
 
[Outro]
     C      D        Em/B  Em   D        G     C   D        G
It's all I ever have          Redemption songs   Redemption songs
     C      D        Em/B  Em   D        G     C   D        G      C ^*   D ^*  Em7*  G ^**
