SONG: People
ARTIST: Jimmy Cliff featuring Sting
ALBUM: Fantastic Plastic People
YEAR: 2002
Since it's the summer vacation, I decided to post the tab of a reggae tune to this
website, mainly because reggae has quite a sunny rhythm and has been long associated with
summer if you know what I mean.
This one is played in the key of C/Am.
This is the main melody for both the intro and chorus;
Dm C Dm
E|-5-------------3-|-5-------------5-|-3---------3-----|-----------------|
B|-----------3-6---|-----------3-6---|-------------6-5-|-3---------------|
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
During the chord sequence and considering this is a reggae song, I find it's best to use
barre chords.
This is the chord sequence for the Intro and chorus:
Dm////|////|C////|Dm////|
For the verse;
F////|////|C////|Dm////
Here is the whole song;
Intro:
Dm C Dm
DmEverybody, everybody, everybody, no
Don't forget her, don't forget her, no
CEverybody, everybody, everybody, no
DmDon't forget her, don't forget her, no (x2)
Verse 1:
There comes a Ftime when we must fight again
For what we Cknow to be the Dmtruth
Here comes the Fday when we must rise again
To save oursCelves reclaim our Dmyouth
Chorus:
DmSo people let's get together and show ourC power
All over the Dmworld
DmSo people let's get together and show ourC power
All over the Dmworld
Dm C Dm
Verse 2:
There comes a Ftime to gather round again
To sit and Clearn each other'Dms ways
As of Ftoday let's start to laugh again
And hope and CJoy is here to Dmstay
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
(no chord sequence for this bit, just drums, but I can't work out the lyrics. It lasts
for eight bars)
Verse 3:
Love sees the Fway to make the best of things
The more we Cgive, the more we Dmget
We know the Ftruth lies in the simple things
The simple Cthing lest we Dmforget
Repeat Chorus
Some ranting verse
(same chord sequence)
Repeat Chorus
