Redemption Song Uke tab by Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

Intro: A#, D#, F (x2)


      A#              Gm
Old pirates yes they rob I
     D#                 Cm
Sold I to the merchant ships
A#                   Gm
Minutes after they took I
D#                    F
From the bottomless pit
        A#        Gm
But my hand was made strong
        D#            Cm
By the hand of the almighty
     A#               Gm       
We forward in this generation
D#     F     
Triumphantly



Chorus:
F                  A#     D#
Won't you help to sing
        F         A#
These songs of freedom?
       D#     F    Gm
Cause all I ever have

      A#                           Gm
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
             D#                  Cm
None but ourselves can free our minds
         A#               Gm
Have no fear for atomic energy
       D#                         F
Cause none of them can stop the time
     A#                        Gm
How long shall they kill our prophets
          D#               Cm
While we stand aside and look?
      A#              Gm
Some say it's just a part of it
       D#                  F
We've got to fulfill the book
