Just learning a song by Jimmy Cliff, in the Willie Nelson version. I’m not very secure with the lyrics yet, but the lyrics are GOOD, that’s for sure.
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
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
A
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
G
Trying to drive me underground
A
And they think that they have got the battle won
G
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they’ve done
A
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
G
Though I know that when you’re dead you can’t
A
But I’d rather be a free man in my grave
G
Than living as a puppet or a slave
