Redemption Song a Bob Marley remake with Joe Strummer

Intro: G C D 2x

    G                 Em7
Old Pirates, yes they rob I,
     C        G/B      Am
Sold I to the Merchant ships.
G                  Em               C          D
Minutes after they took I, from the bottomless pit.
       G             Em7
But my hand was made strong,
       C       G/B   Am    
By the hand of the almighty.
G                  Em          C         D
We forward in this generation, triumphantly.

Chorus:
                  G     C      D        G
Won't you help to sing,  these songs of freedom
      C     D    Em    C  D        G
Cause all I ever had,   Redemption Songs
C                G C D
 Redemption Songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
Will we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book.

Repeat Chorus and say Redemption Songs once more.

Old pirates, yes they rob I,
Sold I to the merchant ships.
Minutes after they took I, from the bottomless pit.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
while we stand aside and look.
Yes some say it's just a part of it, we've got to fulfill the book.

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, Redemption Songs
All I ever had, Redemption Songs
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom.
