THE HARDER THEY COME- Jimmy Cliff
D A G A D A G
A
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
G
Waiting for me when I die
A
But between the day you're born and when you die
G
They never seem to hear even your cry
CHORUS:
F#
So as sure as the sun will shine
Bm
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
A G D
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
A G D
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jimmy-cliff/124019.html ]
Well the officers are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
CHORUS
ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh
D A G A D A G D A G A D A G
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
CHORUS
A G D
Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all
A G D A G D
What I say now, what I say now awww
What I say now, what I say one time
A G D
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
A G E
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)
