So Johnny Cash's version of Redemption Song is not accurate. This one follows the chords and lyrics fairly well Capo on the 3rd Fret G C D (2x) G Em Old Pirates, yes, they rob I C Am Sold I to the merchant ships G Em C Am minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit. G Em But my hand was made strong C Am By the hand of the Almighty. G Em C D We forward in this generation triumphantly. (D) G Won't you help to sing C D G these songs of freedom?
