The Harder They Come [W]
by Jimmy Cliff [W]

           G
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
F
Waiting for me when I die
      G
But between the day you're born and when you die
     F
They never seem to hear even your cry

[Chorus:]
      Em
So as sure as the sun will shine
             Am
I'm going to get my share now of what's mine
             G
And then the harder they come
    F
The harder they'll fall
        C
One and all
    G
The harder they come
    F
The harder they'll fall
        C
One and all

Well, the oppressors 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]

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]
