C      G/B            Am                            F
      I remember when we used to sit
 In the government yard in trenchtown
    Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
 good friends  we had oh     good friend we lost
     along the way
 In this bright future you cant forget your past
So dry your tears I say

 

Chorus


 said I remember when we used to sit
 In the government yard in trenchtown
 And then Georgie would make a fire light
     as it was log wood burnin through the nights
   Then we would cook corn meal porridge
of which I'll share with you        yeah
     my feet is my only carriage    and so
I've got to push on through. But while I'm gone

 

C                                 G/B             Am                             F
  Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.  Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.  (×4)

 

Chorus.. with adlib:

So no woman no cry
  No woman no cry
  Here little darlin' don't shed no tears
  No woman no cry

Chorus Jam with adlibs...
