THE HARDER THEY COME- Jimmy Cliff
D A G A D A G
Well they tAell me of a pie up in the sky
GWaiting for me when I die
But betwAeen the day you're born and when you die
They neGver seem to hear even your cry
CHORUS:
So as sF#ure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna gBmet my share now of what's mine
And then the haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
Ooh the hAarder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
Well the officers 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
ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh
D A G A D A G D A G A D A G
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
Yeah, the haArder they come, the hGarder they'll fall one and Dall
What I say now, what I say now A G awwDw A G D
What I say now, what I say one time
The haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall one and aDll
Ooh the haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall one and alEl
(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)
