THE HARDER THEY COME- Jimmy Cliff
D A G A D A G
A
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
G
Waiting for me when I die
A
But between the day you're born and when you die
G
They never seem to hear even your cry
CHORUS:
F#
So as sure as the sun will shine
Bm
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
A G D
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
A G D
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
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
A G D
Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all
A G D A G D
What I say now, what I say now awww
What I say now, what I say one time
A G D
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
A G E
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
(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.
