Bob Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981), born Nesta Robert Marley which was later to be changed by passport officials to Robert Nesta Marley, was a Jamaican singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist. He was the most widely known writer and performer of Reggae, and more specifically Roots Reggae. He is famous for popularising the genre outside of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Much of his music dealt with the struggles of the spiritually wealthy rasta and/or spiritually powerful Jah Rastafari.

Verse 1:
CDGG7 Hear the children cryin', AmG But I know they cry not in vain. CDGG7 Now the times are changin', AmG Love has come to bloom a-gain.
Bridge 1:
FCG Smelling the air when Spring comes by raindrops, FCG Reminds us of youthful days. FCG But now it's not rain, that water the cane crops, F But the sweat from man's brow, Fm The substance from our spine. We gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time.
Chorus 1:
CAm (Hallelujah time), DmG Yes, you can hear the children singing. CAm (Hallelujah time), DmG As they go singing by and by.
CAm (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah, DmG Singing in the morning. CAm (Hallelujah time), DmG Let them sing, don't let them cry.
Verse 2:
CDGG7 Over rocks and mountains, AmG The sheep are scattered all a-round. CDGG7 Over hills and valleys, AmG They are everywhere to be found.
Bridge 2:
FCG But though we bear our burdens now, FCG All af-flictions got to end, somehow. FCG From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough, FFm Why won't you let us be, to live in harmony? We like to be free, like birds in a tree.
Chorus 2:
CAm (Hallelujah time), DmG Yes, you can hear the children singing. CAm (Hallelujah time), DmG As they go singing by and by.
CAm (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah, DmG Singing in the morning. CAm (Hallelujah time), DmG Let them sing, never let them cry.
CAm (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah, DmG Singing in the morning...
