Capo: 3

So Johnny Cash's version of Redemption Song is not accurate. This one follows the chords and lyrics fairly well Capo on the 3rd Fret G C D (2x)

Old^G Pirates, yes, they rob I^Em Sold ^CI to the merchant ships ^Am ^Gminutes after they ^Emtook I from the bottom^Cless pit. ^Am But my ^Ghand was made stron^Emg ^CBy the hand of the Almighty.^Am We ^Gforward in this generatio^Emn triumphantly.^C ^D

(D) G Won't you help to sing

these s^Congs ^Dof freedom^G? Cause ^Call I ^Dever had,^Em ^Credempti^Don songs^G, ^Credempti^Don songs^G. ^C ^D

(D) G Em Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,

None but our^Cselves can free our minds. ^Am ^GHave no fear for atomic e^Emnergy, Cause none of ^Cthem can stop the time. ^D How ^Glong shall they kill our prophets ^Em While we ^Cstand aside and look? ^Am Ooh, some ^Gsay it's just a part of it. ^Em We've ^Cgot to fulfill the book. ^D

(D) G Won't you help to sing

these s^Congs ^Dof freedom^G? Cause ^Call I ^Dever had,^Em ^Credempti^Don songs^G, ^Credempti^Don songs^G, ^Credempti^Don songs^G. ^C ^D
