Chords and Lyrics

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 bottomless pit
G                                  Em
But my hand was made strong
C              G/B             Am
By the hand of the Almighty
G                                   Em
We forward in this generation

Triumphantly

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

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
Ooh, some say it’s just a part of it
C               G/B           D
We’ve got to fulfill the Book
