Lyrics:
Intro: RIFF 1
A dedication to all the refugees worldwide, aie, one time...
Verse 1: RIFF 1
Say, say say
I remember, when we used to say,
We a gotta a venu (?) in Brooklyn.
Aba aba sufferin' the crookedness,
As we mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we've had oh, good friends we've lost,
along, the way.
In this grim future you can't forget your past,
So dry your tears I say, to my pe'p's who've past away.
Chorus: RIFF 2,3
No woman no cry.
No woman no cry, (say say say).
Hey(Hear) little sister, don't shed no tears.
No woman no cry, say say say.
Verse 2: RIFF 1
I remember, when we used to rock, oh
On a project yard in Jersey.
And little Georgie, would make the fire live,
As stolen cars pass through the night.
And then we'd hit the corner store,
For Roots paper and ro, oooo (?)
My dreams, my only remedy (NO CHORD)
For pain of losing family. RIFF 1
Oh while I'm gone shorty.
Bridge: RIFF 1
Everything is gonna be alright,
Everythings gonna be alright.
Fugees come to the dance tonight
Everythings gonna be alright.etc.
The gun mans in the house tonight etc.
oh ah oh ah oh ah etc.
Chorus: RIFF 1, 3
Verse 3: RIFF 1
I remember, when we used to say.
All among the grit yard in trench town.
Aba aba sufferin' the hypocrites,
As they mingle with the good people we meet.
Good frinds we've had, oh, good frinds we've lost.
Along the way, hey.
In this great future you can't forget your past,
So dry your tears I say,
Chorus: RIFF 2,3
Outro:RIFF 1
To my pe'p's who've past away.
oh ah, oh ah, oh ah (fade out)
If anyone has the tab to "Where Do You Go" by No Mercy, please
e-mail me!:)

Ok, I have tabbed the main guitar part on this beautiful song,

I'm sure that the Chorus line nedds some corrections so don't hesitate to send me your notes.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FUGEES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
