The Harder They Come
(Jimmy Cliff)
Lyrics transcribed by: Kevin Teel
Music transcribed by: Rob Williams
Intro. Riff
| /     /    /  / | /     /    /  / |
  C# C#   G#        F# F#   G# 

| /     /    /  / | /  /  /  / |
  C# C#   G#        F#


Verse 1:
           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:
       Fm
So, as sure as the sun will shine
          Bbm
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
             G#                   F#
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall
        C#
One and all
        G#                   F#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall
        C#
One and all

Verse 2:
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:
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall
One and all

(Intro. Riff)

Verse:
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:
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
