Jimmy Cliff
Text File
Listen to the song for timing.
C# Ab F# Ab C# Ab F# F#
Ab
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
F#
Waiting for me when I die
Ab
But between the day you're born and when you die
F#
They never seem to hear even your cry
CHORUS:
Fm
So as sure as the sun will shine
Bbm
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
Ab F# C#
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ab F# C#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
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
C# Ab F# Ab C# Ab F# F# C# Ab F# Ab C# Ab F# F#
ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh
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
Ab F# C#
Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all
Ab F# C# Ab F#
What I say now, what I say now, awww
C#
What I say now, what I say one time
Ab F# C#
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
Ab F# C#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
