Redemption Song (Bob Marley cover)
G Em
Old pirates yes they rob I
C Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G Em
Minutes after they took I
C Am
From the bottomless pit
G Em
But my hand was made strong
C Am
By the hand of the almighty
G Em C Am
We forward in this generation triumphantly
D 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

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
C Am7
None but ourselves can free our minds
G Em
Have no fear for atomic energy
C C/B Am7
Cause none of them can stop the time
G Em
How long shall they kill our prophets
C C/B Am
While we stand aside and look
G Em
Some say it's just a part of it
