     G                     Em
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I
 C             G/B        Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G                        Em  
 Minutes after they took I
C          G/B          Am
 From the bottom less pit
        G        Em
But my hand was made strong
C        G/B            Am
 By the hand of the Almighty
    G                  Em     C    G/B     D
We forward in this generation   triumphantly

                   G   C        D         G
Won't you help to sing   these songs of freedom?
       C     D      Em  C

       G                            Em
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
             C          G/B       Am
None but ourselves can free our minds
         G              Em
Have no fear for atomic energy
                C        G/B      D
Cause none of them can stop the time
     G                         Em
How long shall they kill our prophets
           C     G/B       Am
While we stand aside and look?
           G               Em
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
       C         G/B       D
We've got to fulfill the book

                   G    C        D         G
Won't you help to sing    these songs of freedom?
