Bob Marley ( Redemption song )

        REDEMPTION SONG       BOB MARLEY

   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
