[Verse]
G                    Em   
Old pirates yes they rob I
C             Bm7      Am   
Sold I to the merchant ships
G                    Em    
■ Minutes after they took I
C          Bm         D  
■ From the bottomless pit
       G    Em             
But my hand was made strong
C      Bm          Am      
By the hand of the almighty


[Chorus]
G               Em         C
Forward in this generation ■
Bm           D D7            G   
Triumphantly ■ ■  All I ever have


[Verse]
C D           G         
■ These songs of freedom
C         D       G   
Won't you help to sing
C D           G         
■ These songs of freedom

■ Redemption songs ■
D G                          Em            
■ Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
         C         Bm7          Am   
None but ourselves can free our minds
        G               Em    
Have no fear for atomic energy
               C                 D   
'cause none of them can stop the time
    G                        Em      
How long shall they kill our prophets
         C     Bm        Am7     
While we stand aside and look Ooh


[Chorus]
G                      Em        
■ Some say it's just a part of it
C            Bm          D   
We've got to fullfil the book
                  G   
Won't you help to sing
C D           G         
■ These songs of freedom
C         D       G   
Won't you help to sing
C D          G     C
