Biography:
Beresford Hammond (b.August 28,1955 Annotto Bay,St.Mary, Jamaica) has only really risen to become popular in the 'digital' age of Reggae, although his career stretches back to the 1970's. Considered by many to be one of Jamaica's finest contemporary vocalists, his best work has generally been captured on the 'Penthouse' and 'Xterminator' labels as well as his own 'Harmony House' imprint. The singer with his distictive 'Bourbon on the rocks' vocal style remains active today both recording and producing.

all the verses and chorus follow the same chord progression. I usually play the C chord
at the 8th fret with C in the bass, then slide down to the 6th fret Bb, then just drop
down to the 6th fret Eb, I just prefer the sound on my guitar when I keep it in that
fret range. I just wanted to create a quick easy to play version to play on my acoustic
guitar, so there may be tensions or passing chords that I'm missing in here, but this is
close enough to play along with the song, or sing.

No window, no window
I want to stay home tonight
I long to spend some time with the family
But staying home won't make it right
Sometimes the pressure make me feel like hollar
When every sign says no way out
Breaking my back to make an overtime dollar
That just goes from hand to mouth
Still I'm (putting up a resistance)
I'm gonna work it out
You know I'm (putting up a resistance)
I've got to work it out
Lord I'm (putting up a resistance)
I'm ah gonna work it out
You know I'm (putting up a resistance)
I'm gonna work it out, Lord!
Got to fight it
Got to fight it
No I never can understand it
The way the system goes
I don't know how they do it
There's only one way things flow
I don't know how they do it
Cause every time I leave my head above water
And try to save myself from drowning
There's an overnight scheme all worked out
Designed to keep ah me down
Still I'm (putting up a resistance)
I've got to work it out
You know I'm (putting up a resistance)
I'm gonna work it out now
Putting up a resistance
I'm gonna work it out
No window, no window
I want to stay home tonight
I'd like to spend some time with the family
But staying home won't make it right
Sometimes the pressure make me feel like hollar
