The Harder They Come - Jimmy Cliff
[Verse] B B A A
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're [Intro] E<B
born and when you die A<B
They never seem to hear, even your cry E<B
A
[Chorus] G# G# C#m C#m - (B A (E E) x2)
(So), as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
((And then/Ooh) the harder they come, (the/…)
harder they'll fall - One and all () x2)
Well, the officers are tryin' to keep me down
Tryin' to drive me underground
And they think that they have got [Chorus]
the battle won (Cause)
I say forgive them Lord, [Intro]
they know not what they've done (x2)
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] (x3) (So) (…/…/Hey)
(//what I say now (x2)) - … - Ohhh
… - What I say (now/one time) (x2) (/Ooh)
[Chorus - Lines #3~6] (…/E-D C#) (/the)
