Redemption Song - Bob Marley

  [Verse] (F Dm Bb-F Gm x3) - F Dm Bb C - C

Old pirates, yes, they rob I

Sold I to the merchant ships      [Intro]

Minutes after they took I            (x2)

From the bottomless pit           F   Bb-C

But my hand was made strong       F-C Bb-F

By the hand of the almighty

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

                                 [Chorus]

Won't you help to sing        (F  Bb-C x2)

These songs of freedom         Dm Bb-C

Cos all I ever had            (F  Bb-C x2)

(Redemption songs x2)

                               [Verse #2]

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds, ()

Have no fear for atomic energy

Cos none of them can stop a-the time

How long shall they kill our prophets

While we stand aside and look

Some say it's just a part of it  [Chorus]

We've got to fulfill the book        (x3)

                                 [Instru]

[Verse #2] (woh) [Chorus] (x1)       (x4)

All I ever had - Redemption songs  Dm Bb-C

These (songs of freedom x2)

[Outro] Gm Gm Gm7 Gm7-X
