Strum
D-DU-UDU
Old  pirates yes they  rob I
 Sold I  to the merchant  ships
Minutes  after they  took I
From  the bottomless  pit
 But my hand  was made  strong
 By the hand  of the  almighty
 We forward  in this  generation  triumphantly
 Won't  you help to  sing, these  songs  of freedom
 Cause all  I ever  had, redemption  songs
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
 While we  stand  aside and look
 Some say it's  just a part  of it
 We've got  to fullfill  the  book
 Won't  you help to  sing, these  songs  of freedom
 Cause all  I ever  had, redemption  songs
Redemption  songs

Emancipate  yourselves from  mental slavery

 Some say it's  just a part  of it
