F  C          Bb  C
     Oh yeah       Oh yeah
F  C          Bb  C
     All right

C
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Bb
Waiting for me when I die
       C
But between the day you're born and when you die
     Bb
They never seem to hear even your cry

      A
So as sure as the sun will shine
          Dm
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
             C
And then the harder they come
    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all
         C
Ooh, the harder they come
    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all

          C
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Bb
Trying to drive me underground
         C
And they think that they have got the battle won
         Bb
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

          A
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
          Dm
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
             C
And then the harder they come
    Bb                        F
The harder they fall, one and all
         C
Ooh, the harder they come
    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all

F  C          Bb  C
     Oh yeah       Oh yeah
F  C          Bb  C
     All right

      C
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Bb
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
        C
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
     Bb
Than living as a puppet or a slave

      A
So as sure as the sun will shine
          Dm
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
             C
And then the harder they come
    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all
         C
Ooh, the harder they come
    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all

    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all

Ooh, the harder they come
    Bb                         F
The harder they fall, one and all
