The Harder They Come

written by Jimmy Cliff

from the album "Countryman"

tabbed 9/6/05

I usually don't beg for ratings or comments, but this one gave me

a lot of trouble, so please, rate/comment to let me know if I got

it right, or close (sounds good to me, but as Chuck Berry once said,

you never can tell).

CAPO I

G

Well they tell me of a pie in the sky

F

Waitin' for me when I die

G

But between the day you're born and when you die

F

They never even seem to hear you cry

CHORUS:

E

So as sure as the sun will shine

Am

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

G F

And the harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

G F

The harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

G

Well the officers are tryin' to keep me down

F

Tryin' to drive me underground

G

And they think that they have got the battle won

F

I say forgive them Lord they know not what they've done

CHORUS:

E

'Cause as sure as the sun will shine

Am

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

G F

And the harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

G F

And the harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

G F C

Oooh oooh oooh

G

I keep on fightin' for the things I want

F

Though I know that when you're dead you can't

G

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

F

Than living as a puppet or a slave

CHORUS:

E

So as sure as the sun will shine

Am

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

G F

And then the harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

G F

And the harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

G F

And the harder they come, the harder they fall

C

One and all

OUTRO: G F C (repeat several times and fade)
