Redemption Song Tab

by Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros


Intro:      

                       
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 fulfill the book

                                        
So, Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
                           
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
                   
 Redemption songs

Sold I to the merchant ships
                           
Minutes after they took I
                    
From the bottomless pit
                               
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 fulfill the book

                                       
So won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
                               
Cause all I ever had, these songs of freedom
                           
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
                                     
   These songs of freedom, these songs of freedom
