Old [Bb] [Eb] [F]
[Bb] pirates, [Gm] yes they rob I, [Eb] sold I to the merchant [Cm] ships,
[Bb] Minutes after [Gm] they took I from [Eb] the [F] bottomless pit.
But my [Bb] hand [Gm] was made strong by [Eb] the hand of the [Cm] Almighty.
We [Bb] forward in this [Gm]
generation [Eb] [F] triumphantly.
Won't you help [Bb] to sing [Eb] [F] these [Bb] songs of freedom?

[Eb] [F]
[Bb] Emancipate yourselves from mental [Gm] slavery, none but [Eb] ourselves can free our [Cm] minds.
Have [Bb] no fear for atomic [Gm] energy, cause none [Eb] of them can stop the [F] time.
How [Bb] long shall they kill our [Gm] prophets while we [Eb] stand aside and [Cm] look?
[Bb] Some say it's just a [Gm] part of it, [Eb] we got to fulfill the [F] book.
So won't you help [Bb] to sing [Eb] these [F] songs [Bb] of freedom?
