JIMMY CLIFF - "sitting in limbo" Tablature
Official JIMMY CLIFF Tablature & Sheet Music »
SITTING IN LIMBO- Jimmy Cliff
E
Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
A E
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song
B
Well, they're putting up resistance
A B E
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, have some time to search my soul
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
CHORUS #1:
A E
I don't know where life will lead me
A E
But I know where I've been
A E
I can't say what life will show me
A E
But I know what I've seen
B C#m
Tried my hand at love and friendship
B C#m
But all that is past and gone
A B
This little boy is moving on
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo, knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
CHORUS #2:
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
I can't say where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is moving on
REPEAT THIRD VERSE
E
Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo, etc...
NOTE: The song sounds better if you add these variations to E:
0 2 2 1 0 4 and 0 2 2 1 0 2 and then the usual 0 2 2 1 0 0
So, while strumming you can move down the E string with your pinkie.
Listen to the record to see what I mean.
(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)

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 JIMMY CLIFF 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.
