Redemption Song

G                                   Em
Old pirates, yes, they rob I.
        C                                  Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G                                      Em
minutes after they took I 
 C                                    Am
from the bottomless pit.
                G                              Em 
but my hand was made strong
              C                   Am
by the hand of the almighty.
            G                            Em    
We forward in this generation
C               D

                   C                                        Am

How long shall they kill our prophets
                     C                          Am
While we stand aside and look?

Ooh, some say it s just a part of it.
