BOB MARLEY - REDEMPTION SONG


		
    G       G/F#      Em 
Oh pirates, yes they rob I
 C             C/B     Am  
Sold I to the merchant ships
         G    G/F#   Em 
Minutes after they took I
   C         C/B     D
From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong
by the hand of the almighty
he fought in this generation
triumphantly


Chorus
------
      D               G
    Won't you help to sing,
      C      D        G
    These songs of freedom,
          C     D    Em
    'cos all I ever had 
      C        D          G    
    (was) Redemption songs, ......[C]......[D]

emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
none but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'cos none of them can stop the time


Em    C     D  (x4)

How long will they kill our prophets
while we stand around and look?
some say it's just a part of it
we got's to fulfill the book

Chorus
