Originally from The Harder They Come soundtrack
If this looks too hard for you, transpose it -1 and use a capo on the first fret.

[VERSE 1]
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

[CHORUS]
F
So as sure as the sun will shine
A#m
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
G# F#
And the harder they come, the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all
G# F#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all

[VERSE 2]
G#
Well the officers 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

[CHORUS]
F
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
A#m
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
G# F#
And the harder they come, the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all
G# F#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all

G# F# C#
Oooh Oooh Oooh

[VERSE 3]
G#
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

[CHORUS]
F
So as sure as the sun will shine
A#m
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
G# F#
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all
G# F#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all
G# F#
And the harder they come, the harder they'll fall,
C#
One and all

[OUTRO]
G# F# C# (repeat several times and fade)
