Tom : Db
[Intro] C# G# F# G#
C# G# F# G#
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
F#
Waiting for me when I die
G#
But between the day you're born and when you die
F#
They never seem to hear even your cry
F
So as sure as the Sun will shine
Bbm
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
[Refrão]
G#
And then the harder they come
F# C#
The harder they fall, one and all
G#
Ooh, the harder they come
F# C#
Harder they fall, one and all
[Próxima Parte]
G#
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
F#
Trying to drive me underground
G#
And they think that they have got the battle won
F#
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
F
Cause as sure as the Sun will shine
Bbm
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
( C# G# F# G# )
( C# G# F# )
G#
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
F#
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
G#
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
F#
Than living as a puppet or a slave
F
So as sure as the Sun will shine
Bbm
I'm gonna get my share right now, what's mine
[Trecho 2x 2x]
[Refrão] (repetir)
