Redemption Song - Bob Marley

G Em7
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.
C G/B Am
Sold I to the merchant ships
G Em C G/B Am
minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit.
G Em7
But my hand was made strong
C G/B Amjavascript:void(0)
By the hand of the Almighty.
G Em C D
We forward in this generation triumphantly.

Chorus?:
G C D G
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
C D Em C D G
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs,
C D G C
redemption songs.

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 Am
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
G Em7
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 D
We've got to fulfill the book.

Chorus

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.
Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs,
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom.

Jimi Hendrix - Wind Cries Mary

|: Eb E F Eb E F :|

C Bb F
After all the jacks are in their boxes
C Bb F
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C Bb F
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
G Bb Eb E F
Footsteps dressed in red
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary


C Bb F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C Bb F
Up the broken peices of yesterday's life
C Bb F
Somewhere a queen is weeping
G Bb Eb E F
Somewhere a king has no wife
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary


LEAD |: F Eb Bb Ab :| 3x G Bb Db F


C Bb F
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C Bb F
And shine the emptyness down on my bed
C Bb F
The tiny island sags downstream
G Bb Eb E F
Cause the life that lived is dead
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind screams Mary


C Bb F
Will the wind ever remember
C Bb F
The names it has blown in the past
C Bb F
With its crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
G Bb Eb E F
It whispers no, this will be the last
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary

Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe

C G D A E E7
Hey Joe where ya' goin' with that gun in your hand?
I said hey Joe where ya goin' with that gun in your hand?
I'm goin' out to find my woman now she's been runnin' round with some other man
I said I'm goin' out to find my woman now she's been runnin' 'round with some other man

Hey Joe tell me what are you gonna do?
Hey Joe tell me what are you gonna do?
Well I guess I'll shoot my woman that's what I'll do
Well I guess I'll shoot them both before I'm through

Hey Joe tell me where are you gonna go?
Hey Joe tell me where are you gonna go?
Well I think I'll go down to my favourite place Mexico
Well I think I'll go down to where a man can be free
And there ain't gonna be no hangmans ropes gonna be put around me
