John Legend - 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	C	Am
We forward in this generation triumphantly
  D	         G	   C	D	G
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
         C	D     Em	C       D	G    C
cause all I ever had, redemption songs
D    	G      C  D

G			Em
emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
	C		Am7
None but ourselves can free our minds
	G	    Em
have no fear for atomic energy
	C	    C/B	Am7
cause none of them can stop the time
       G			Em
how long shall they kill our prophets
	C     C/B	      Am
While we stand aside and look
         G		Em
Some say it's just a part of it
