JOE STRUMMER AND THE MESCALEROS - REDEMPTION SONG chords
Start Jamming...
I'd like to say that people, people can change anything they want to.
And that means everything in the world.
I don't
show me any country and there'll be people in it.
It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring
and follow that for a time.
You know, think on that.
Without people, you're nothing.
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
[Eb] [F] [Bb] Old pirates, yes [Gm] they rob I
[Eb] Sold I to the merchant [Cm] ships
[Bb] Minutes after [Gm] they took I
[Eb]
From the [F] bottomless pit
[Bb] But my hand [Gm] was made strong
By [Eb] the hand of the [Cm] Almighty
[Bb] We forward in this [Gm] generation
[Eb]
[F] Triumphantly
Won't you help [Bb] to sing
[Eb] These [F] songs [Bb] of freedom
[Eb] Cause all [F] I ever [Gm] had
[Eb] [F] Redemption [Bb] songs
[F] [Bb] Redemption songs
[Eb] [F] [Bb] Emancipate yourselves from [Gm] mental slavery
None [Eb] but ourselves can free [Cm] our minds
Have [Bb] no fear for atomic [Gm] energy
Cause [Eb] none of them can stop [F] the time
[Bb] How long shall they kill [Gm] our prophets
While [Eb] we stand aside [Cm] and look
Some [Bb] say it's just a [Gm] part of it
[Eb] We got to fulfill the [F] book
So won't you help to [Bb] sing
[Eb] These [F] songs [Bb] of freedom
[Eb] Cause all [F] I ever [Gm] had
[Eb]
[F] [Bb] Redemption songs
