First Tab I have done, most of the tabs i have seen on here are pretty
accurate but I added some tweaks of my own in the song, removed G/B for
beginners purpose and also added the guitar slides as heard on the Bob
Marley original version of the song. Also for more ring replace G with
extended G by fretting the 3rd fret on the B string while keeping the
same chord structure as standard G.
Unlike most of Bob Marley's songs this song uses a more standard strum
pattern instead of the Reggae strum, so this song is perfect if your
just learning guitar and like decent music.
Any feed back email me at SeanPatrickHenry@live.co.uk

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.
Chorus
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?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it.
We've got to fulfill the book.
