[Verse 1]
    G                      Em
Old pirates, yes, they rob I,
  C           C/B         Am
Sold I to the merchant ships,
G                        Em
 Minutes after they took I 
C         C/B     Am
 From the bottomless pit.
       G          Em
But my hand was made strong
C            C/B          Am
 By the hand of the Almighty.
      G                Em
We forward in this generation
C          D
 Triumphantly.
D                   G
Won't you help to sing

[Chorus]
C   D           G
 These songs of freedom?
       C     D      Em
'Cause all I ever have,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs.

[Verse 2]
C
D      G                         Em
 Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
            C               C/B   Am
None but ourselves can free our minds.
     G                      Em
Have no fear for atomic energy,
            C           C/B        D
'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,
      C         C/B    D
We've got to fulfill the book.
D                   G
Won't you help to sing

[Chorus]
C   D           G
 These songs of freedom?
       C     D      Em
'Cause all I ever have,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs,
C  D     G
 Redemption songs.
C  D     G        C D
 Redemption songs.
