[G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
Old [G]pirates, yes they [Em]rob I
Sold [C]I to the merchant s[Am]hips
[G]Minutes after they took [Em]I
[C]From the bottomless pit[D]
But my [G]hand was [Em]made strong
By the [C]hand of the almigh[Am]ty
We [G]forward in this gene[Em]ration
[C]triumphantly[D]

[Chorus 1]
Won't you help to [G]sing
[C]These son[D]gs of fre[G]edom
Cause [C]all I [D]ever [Em]had
[C]Redem[D]ption son[G]gs
[C]Redem[D]ption son[G]gs[C][D]

[Verse 2]
Emanci[G]pate yourselves from mental [Em]slavery
None but our[C]selves can free our [Am]minds
Have no [G]fear for atomic e[Em]nergy
Cause none of [C]them can stop the [D]time
How [G]long shall they kill our pro[Em]phets
While we [C]stand aside and [Am]look
Some [G]say it's just a [Em]part of it
We've [C]got to fulfill the [D]book

[Chorus 2]
So won't you help to [G]sing
[C]These son[D]gs of fre[G]edom
Cause [C]all I [D]ever [Em]had
[C]Redem[D]ption son[G]gs
[C]Redem[D]ptio[G]n songs
[C]Redem[D]ption son[G]gs[C][D]

[Verse 3]
Old [G]pirates, yes they [Em]rob I
Sold [C]I to the merchant s[Am]hips
[G]Minutes after they took [Em]I
[C]From the bottomless pit[D]
How [G]long shall they kill our pro[Em]phets
While we [C]stand aside and [Am]look
[G]Some say it's just a [Em]part of it
We've [C]got to fulfill the [D]book

[Chorus 3]
So won't you help to [G]sing
[C]These son[D]gs of fre[G]edom
Cause [C]all I [D]ever [Em]had
[C]These son[D]gs of fre[G]edom
Cause [C]all I [D]ever [Em]had[C]
Re[D]demption [G]songs[C]
These [D]songs of [G]freedom[C]
These [D]songs of [G]freedom
